Sword of Damocles 8C+ Boulder | worked 26th Oct 2024 8C+
First ascent. Around 15 sessions.

Finally! Probably the most days I've but into a boulder and unless I missed some key beta, likely the hardest thing I've ever done. The process on this one was very stressful with the imminent road closure for the next two years hanging over everything. Luckily I was able to extend the season with some e-bike tactics and get it done before the snow came and shut everything down for good [1]
