A humbling test of perseverance for me. First a knee injury back in September on our first day here, and then just as I was recovering, wet holds and record breaking rain over and over for 5 weeks. We extended our trip twice. Fought hard to stay ready mentally and physically for the right moment. Honestly can't believe it all worked out! One of the best, most demanding and scariest sport routes I have climbed. Easily 9b for me, quite obviously harder than the other 9a+ here... But I'll keep it a sandbag out of respect for Ceuse. [1]
