18th 8B by Alex Puccio as preparation for Vail WC

Alex Puccio, the vice World Champion from 2014, has done Dead Meadow 8B in Wild Basin. In total she has done 20 boulders 8B and harder which makes her the #1 female boulderer sending most hard core outdoors. "Was suppose to be a rest day and went out to spot Joel. He got me all psyched to try it and surprised myself with a send. First day on it as well. Psyched! :) Now time for Vail WC!!! The season is just starting up now and since it's been snowing in the alpine and too hot at the lower elevation stuff we have been climbing mostly inside. But after Vail we plan to mostly climb outside! People have started going to RMNP and digging things out so let's see how fast stuff melts out." (c) Joel Zerr
