The 16-year-old got his driver's license last month, and with that newfound freedom, he visited the area for the first time since 2024 and he comments on Instagram.
โSpent my first few days back grinding out the wolvo cave, and last weekend I managed to avoid the dab and take down the big link! I remember coming to Lincoln for the first time in 2022, and wondering if Iโd ever be strong enough to do this one. Looks like Iโve leveled up a bit since thenโฆ Was also able to make my way up โWheel Of Wolvoโ and โVariantโ, (both v14ish). Alpine szn off to a good start! Hyped to get out of the cave and take on some king lines๐โ
