Arrival of the Birds 9A | Climbing History

Climber	Style	Ascent Date	Suggested Grade
Aidan Roberts First ascent.	Boulder \| worked	Mar 2024	9A
Aidan got tantalisingly close in 2023, dropping one of the last droppable moves. Coming back in 2024 he was able to open the problem from a more obvious starting position a few moves lower than where he was trying it in 2023 which adds a few hard moves. One of the most magical sessions I've ever had. [1] Aidan said it felt harder than Alphane for him.
