Leftism

Tackling 'Leftism' (8/8+) at Panzer is a quintessential test of sport climbing prowess. Panzer itself is an imposing, often overhanging, wall – a brutalist canvas of dense rock that feels as solid as its name suggests. 'Leftism' lives up to its grade, delivering a sustained, pumpy challenge that demands both raw power and intricate technique. From the get-go, it's a battle against gravity and forearm pump, often involving precise footwork on smeary sections leading into crimpy sequences. The real magic, and the agony, lies in its relentless nature and a particularly committing crux that requires absolute focus and perhaps a touch of desperation. Every clip feels earned. Redpointing 'Leftism' isn't just about physical strength; it's a testament to mental resilience, precision, and the sheer will to keep fighting through the burn. It's a memorable send, a true benchmark testpiece in a formidable setting.
