Austin Purdy completes Topaz (8C)
Austin Purdy, who did his first 8C+ this summer, has done Topaz (8C) in Wild Basin. โThe past few months I have been busy with work so climbing outside has been more difficult and my focus has been mostly only training in the gym. Topaz was a project I chose as I've been starting to get outside more because I had tried it a little last year, but had to stop because of a tweak in my knee. The process took a bit longer than I expected but the send was very rewarding since this boulder doesn't fit my style in a lot of ways and it had injured me previously. I'm hoping this send means all the training has paid off and I can apply it on some upcoming trips.โ More info on his Instagram
