I remember reading in climbing some years back of a 14a crack done in the states (California I think).
I'm not talking about Magic Line (14b) put up by Kauk, but another one.
Anyone know of the climb I'm talking about. It was a sharp finger splitter protected by wires. Looked sick.

There is a 14a crack route called Lost Horizon at Buttonrock Dam on the St Vrain, near Lyons, Colorado. According to the guide book, it's was put up in 1993 by Rob Candelaria and hasn't seen a repeat.

holemslovesguniess has got it right. I remember seeing that it the mags back in the day. The dude said he was scared he might lose a finger if he came off in certain jams I think there was some doubt that he actuall red-pointed it.
