An athletic coming-of-age. Pulled on the last move of SW freshman year as a ridiculous “what if?!” Sent the sit senior year.

Difficult 8B (some argue 8B+) into 1 move 8A+/8B into 1 move 8A/8A+ implies soft 9A to me. In iso, for the last few sessions, I was able to climb the intro boulder 95% of the time, the crux throw 75% of the time, and the last move 100% of the time. Yet linking these sections together felt super improbable. I really had to push for my determination to trump my expectations. [2]

Cutting it fine with only 3 days to go until Lincoln Lake was closed for 2 years for road repairs.

Delirium 8C Boulder | worked 16th Sep 2022

Surprised myself with a send of this one after 5 days off from the flu. Maybe losing weight, even from sickness, makes you send. One of the most technical (that is to say, not strength or finger reliant) climbs I’ve had the privilege of trying.

8 years later. With campus-board beta because my span is slightly too short to keep good tension on the low feet. Amazing how there's so many different ways to do the boulder dependant on one's body type, each providing similar difficulty and top-tier nuanced movement. Proudest send so far. [2]

The start hold broke making the problem significantly harder.

Post-break FA. The Jade of Lincoln! Start hold almost completely broke off, forcing a different starting hand beta involving a right hand one finger full crimp on a tiny flat hold. The first move is now a dynamic throw into a half pad left hand 2/3 finger mini pinch. The move felt much harder than the Jade move and is certainly one of the hardest moves I’ve ever done. Probably one move v13 into v11. Thinking V14/15 [3]

"Did some cool beta where you basically hand heel match your left hand then just reach up left from the pinch."
