Anna Hazlett aka Hazelnutt sends Prinzip Hoffnung (8b/+) trad

Anna Hazelnutt, who started trad climbing only in 2021, has done in Bürser Platte. It also has an E9/10 grade meaning, it is quite run-out with not the best gear. Hazelnutt's ascent is likely the fifth female ascent of this nearly 50-meter slab/vertical route located within the town of Bürs. Originally, Beat Kammerlander put it up as a sport route in 1997 but later decided to chop the bolts and in 2009, at age 50, he made the first trad ascent.

Can you tell us more about the ascent?
Prinzip is a dream line, I’m so glad I had the opportunity to travel to Bürs and experience it! The ascent took two weeks of projecting between weather windows, and I sent on my third lead after taking two increasingly larger whips on small gear on the previous attempts! The climb is a beautiful fingers crack into the infamous runout slab crux💀 so for this climb I really focused on climbing the crack as efficiently as possible leading up to the slab, because I’m not as well versed in cracks.
