The Venturi Effect (5.12c, Grade V)

Venturi is without a doubt one of the best climbs I have ever done if not the very best. It takes an incredibly ascetic line up perfect rock on one of the most striking alpine faces anywhere. It is very sustained at the 5.11/5.12 level and certainly keeps you on your toes from the first few feet to the last few.

Peter Foster and I hiked out to the Hulk on 8/9 with a few other friends and spent the first day on Blowhard (5.12+, Grade IV) where Peter casually onsighted the route leading every pitch. The next day, we went for Venturi but unfortunately Pete could not quite squeak in the OS. Peter fell once on the route and I fell 3 times which is a regression from the first time I climbed the thing and only fell twice. I hiked out after this climb but I'm pretty sure Peter is still up there, likely crushing some other routes.
