Alex Puccio has started the high alpine season at Mount Blue Sky by doing Mental Masturbation (8A+), The Exfoliator (8A+) and King Critter Sit (8A+).
On Instagram she comments, The Exfoliator, "Always wanted to go check this one out and it didnโt disappoint. Really hard first move with bad feet and awkward body position.
