Arrival of the Birds 9A | Climbing History

Climber	Style	Ascent Date	Suggested Grade
Aidan Roberts	Boulder \| worked	Mar 2024	9A
Aidan Roberts	First ascent. 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.
