Year Climb Grade Style Date
2023 Sleepwalker 8C+ Boulder | worked Nov 2023

Notably Kai's hardest problem prior to climbing this was 8B so he skipped 2 grades.

I’m beyond words for this one. It has a big place in my heart cause I grew up in Vegas and watched Jimmy during the process of the fa on this boulder. I’m so psyched to finally be strong enough to put this one down.
