Earlier this year American climber Sean Bailey made the first ascent of a longstanding project at Red Rock he has now called Shaolin and graded 9A. The boulder starts to the right of the famous 8B+ Trieste and sports a distinct crux which can either be climbed statically or with a low-percentage dyno. Bailey opted for the latter to establish his hardest to date and what currently stands as one of only a handful of 9A problems worldwide.
