Allison Vest ticks Meadowlark Lemon Stand (8A+)

Allison Vest, who last week sent her 15th 8B, has done Meadowlark Lemon Stand (8A+) in Gateway Canyon. In September 2023, she got a hand injury [Dequervains Tenosinovitis] and it was not until five months ago she could start climbing on jugs.

Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I tried this boulder a bunch last year, not realizing how bad my hand was and feeling frustrated that it was feeling out of reach for me. Stoked to have returned healthy and feeling like myself!
