Two weeks ago I did my first Bishop V9. This v9 was named moonraker. This problem was put up by my best friend Dustin Sabo. He first ascent this problem back when him and Vic Copland were roaming down in Bishop when they were my age. After being tired and complaining about how my skin hurt that day I went back to go try some other problems and some how ended up doing moonraker instead. It was great. My friend Nick Bradly was also there trying to get Gleaming the Cube sit V8. Second go we were so close and later both sent our problems third go. It was pretty cool to do moonraker. First move is off these underclings with ok feet to a ok small edge. After sticking that you have to place your right heal next to your hand on the undercling. Your heal sits on this supper small crystal and you pray to god that it holds while you do everything else. After sticking the heal you go out right to this good edge then bump to this small edge. After sticking that you get another heal and fall into the first hold you bumped off of. Now the beta is to turn your heals into toe scums. With that you are able to get most of your body weight on that right arm to be able to hold the swing when you cut your feet. After holding the swing you then now have to find a way into the scoop and crawl through the hole and up the v2 to finish it.
Here is a link to my vid of me doing this climb.
