Army of the Dead 8B by Allison Vest
Lots of possible sequences on this one so it took a while to figure out. Plus, every move is a little harder than you want it to be at the top. I had a heartbreak attempt the try before I sent. But, I was there with Palmer Larsen and he did it just after that, so I was determined to leave with two sends between us and not just one! It was a send train to remember!"
Allison has been an active competition climber since age ten and she has just focused on outdoors for a couple of years. This was the third 8B by the 26-year-old during the last two months.
