Careless Torque is a steep, physical grit problem built around twisting, torqueing body positions on small holds. Success depends on maintaining core tension and sequencing moves to avoid awkward, pump-inducing positions. The problem exemplifies gritstone’s demand for creative body shaping and precise footwork; climbers often rehearse individual moves extensively before linking them into a full attempt at the boulder’s hard sequence.
