8A (+) by Alex Puccio

Alex Puccio has done Sitting Moon in Horsetooth giving it a personal grade of 8A. "I think this Boulder fit my body and style perfectly! All the others loged 8A+ on here, but I think it was my style. Definitely didn't have to try as hard in this climb as all other 8A+'s I have done. Fun day out with friends and the pup!!! :) Last year Alex was #2 in the World Championship but this year she got injured during the warming up in the Vail WC in June, which made her go through a surgery. Alex proves that sometimes you come back stronger after an injury due to getting a long recovery break. (c) Joel Zerr
