Its barely spring and there’s already lots of new development at the Midwest’s premier steep sport climbing mecca – Willow river. First, a new 12c (or b/c) called “Couch Time”. It starts on Genesis then heads up to the chains of Cain. The first half is like hanging on the couch – big comfy holds. Then you have to step off the couch to pull the crux once you reach Cain. Think of it as having to get off the couch to get a beer or something. Then it’s back to the couch – big comfy holds to the chains. Don’t fall getting back on the couch though it’s a little tricky here, but it’s still pretty “couch”.
The other variation is to do the V9ish start of Cain into Couch Time. This one goes at 13d and is called “Abel”
