Silence (9c) - Can the crack be jammed?

Спорт

Silence is the hardest rock climb in the world, and seeing as though a very small portion of the crux has a crack on it, we wanted to see if we could find some jams and actually hang on!
Note from Pete:
Just making it clear on a few points right from the beginning :)
I never started the crack from ‘below the crack’, so I have no idea whether the sequence I was using would in fact work when climbing from below. Yes, you can get your hands and feet into the positions I had them in, but whether you can get them into these positions well enough to enable you to execute the crack climbing sequence above, I’ve no idea.
The crack climbing sequence that I used wasn’t simple, it involved thin and technical foot and hand jamming. Secure, but technical and difficult would be my words to describe it.
I hope it’s an alternative sequence that someone strong enough can climb into, use effectively and find useful for a future ascent.
And of course thanks to Adam, for bringing this route to light, sending us some comments and continuing to lead our sport with inspiration for everyone.
Note from Adam:
I really enjoyed watching this video and I was looking forward to when Pete or Tom would finally check it out. Linking the crux (even though there are harder single moves lower down) was jamming my left foot properly, while being super extended holding the slopey hole with right hand down low, and then getting into the holds right underneath the foot jam. From there on, it was all about this massive drop knee, which makes the “crack section” a one mover, instead of technical jamming and making more moves.
I would often get into the position where Pete is starting from, with my foot jam sliding half out and there was no way to drop the knee, because I was in the air before I dropped the knee.
At the same time, if the foot jam stuck perfectly, I would never fall in the drop knee any more. So, I do not think that the new jamming beta would help me because you still need the foot jam in the correct place in order to move your feet higher.
In my point of view, I guess the new beta might be similar difficulty for me (I totally agree I still have a lot to learn about jamming though), but new beta requires wearing flat shoes on both feet (instead of soft downturn shoe on my right) which would definitely make the other sections harder for me.
Great news is that the route is possible without dislocating the knee though, which makes the route much better!

    Maybe it’s just me, but I find this comment from Pete a bit off putting? It seems to be said as though, “I am a crack climber & I found what I think is better beta, that adam did not find & it makes it easier. Looks like someone might have something to learn.” When in reality, the beta was already acknowledged and discarded because there were reasons below the moves tried in the video that hindered the ability to perform this sequence.

    Michael K I've pretty much done all my top rope, hang dogging, working out sequences, using a gri gri, way back from when I was 16 practicing routes on the grit updated to now. So 13 years without this method, I've never had a problem, cos I've never fallen more than about 1 foot. System seems fine to me 👍

    Jose Gutierrez this small section, is more comparable to sections of crack climbs we've done in the desert, I.e. Pure crack climbing. It doesn't really compare to RD at all, that route is a sporty crack which you can climb without much jamming technique if you really wanted to.

Maybe this is also a bad comparison since its an endurance climb, but how would the crack beta on Silence stack compare in difficulty to the crux mono spin through and ring lock on the Kraken? EDIT: Not commenting about the grades between the two b.c. Silence (V15) adds difficult boulder moves into the crack, just curious about the pure crack moves.
