Singularit­y Repeated in Squamish

-

Nalle Hukkataiva­l made the f irst repeat of Tim Clifford’s Singularit­y V14 in Squamish in the fall. Tim Clifford put up the problem in May 2007, and it kept many V15 climbers from sending. The grade was never confirmed at V14 and many thought it was harder. After, Hukkataiva­l said, “Singularit­y. Inspiring vision and persistenc­e from Tim Clifford who opened the boulder over 10 years ago without a repetition until yesterday. What an amazing boulder. The fact that it’s fended off the efforts of a list of V15 climbers for over a decade must mean something. Does that suggest V15? Or make it a V14 that’s just really hard to do? Is there a difference between those two?”
