5.8 | Orange (evo Portland)

Lately I’ve been pulling out footage from the vault of unedited clips. Well here is one from the present.

This is a new route currently up at evo Portland on the auto belay near the bouldering area. It hasn’t been rated or named yet but it climbs like a 5.8. All of the routes on this auto were recently changed out and they swapped out the 5.7 and if I remember a few 5.10’s for this one and a new pair of 5.10s. This one starts a bit rough with the inverted two finger hold but it gets pretty straight after that.

My name is Arthur Page and I live in Portland Maine. I've been climbing on and off for about 8 years. This year I've decided to up my climbing game and have been training to move past the gym and start out-door lead climbing this summer. I'm currently bouldering between V2 and V3 and climbing top rope at the gym between 5.8 and 5.9. I started this site because of how difficult it is to find climbing resources. Most videos lack production quality and getting any reliable information involves dropping hundreds on a class at a gym. To me this is counter to what I believe to principles of climbing. It is a sport centered around personal challenge, community, and sharing. I hope you feel the same way and I hope you enjoy figure8!
