Red Point ascent by:
Because the only thing better than climbing is: more climbing!
A fun extension and topout of the original Insane Whisperings 9-bolt traverse. No power cruxes introduced; this route will share IW's rating of 11b. Like most of IW's early-exit variations (#2 - #9), going up after all those traverse ledges, while pumped, feels like a major shift of gears. This one has some tricks but is otherwise mellow,compared to variations #2 (Sick Insanity) and #3 (Fear Insanity).
Starspawn Insanity is the longest route I've ever done, and I thoroughly enjoyed my left-arm batwing after bolt 9!
