Savage Verse

Description

Amazing line just left of the tree, left of psych.

A couple dynamic moves to start then a big lockoff crux using an amazing edgy pinch just above the midway jug ledge.  I started with a scooped right hand sidepull/undercling at about chest height for a direct start and to avoid lesser quality rock and dirty holds to the left.  

Regarding grade, I certainly gave it more than v7 effort, but my suspicion is that someone with more reach may walk it.  My wingspan is 5'8" ish and I really had to finger crawl for the crux lockoff.  Dialing that move took a bit more work than the long move on 'the drip.'  Whatever the grade, however, the holds are very cool and give rise to great moves.

I know this has been cleaned and worked by others so if someone did it previously please chime in.

edit:  i've plugged in a name.  for what it's worth, it comes from a yawpers song, mon nom, that was in my head around this time:

     Watch the fire consume it      And cry a savage verse.      Watch the better angels of nature      take a dive for the earth.
