Allison Vest gets two 8B's done in Rocklands
Allison Vest has started her trip to Rocklands by doing Bitch! (8B), "Cooked up a new recycle beta with a high toe hook to avoid the big bump. Totally my style, it may be in a hole but it climbs super well." and , "Did the gross matchy way, really liked this boulder a lot."
"Glad I started my trip off with a couple of 8B's because the last few weeks my skin has been sore and the boulders have not been cooperating as wellโฆ All part of the game but this trip has been lots of learning. Tactics, patience, and trying to be more confident. So happy to be here for my first trip! Wouldnโt have been possible without Frances and Billy and their headlamps :)"
In the 8a ranking game, Allison is #3 having done six 8B's during the last 12 months.
