Cambell and Sophia send Meadowlark Lemon Stand (8A+)

Campbell Sarinopoulos and Sophia Hoermann have sent Meadowlark Lemon Stand (8A+) in Red Rock (NV). Last week, Hoermann also sent Hungry Hungry Hippos (8A+). ”First go from the bottom today! Had her teed up from december. With aidan, soren, and campbell.”

Can you tell us more about the team send?
We have known each other since we were 10 through youth competitions. Since starting college together at the University of Utah we’ve gone on many outdoor trips together. We’ve watched each other send and we’ve epiced together. We wanted to try Meadowlark Lemon Stand because Sophia got close last year and of course because it’s a beautiful boulder in a gorgeous zone.

We went to the boulder with a big crew pretty late to try to escape the heat. We started trying and even though we have very similar dimensions, we realized pretty quick that we would need to use different beta to send. On Sophia’s send, a little breeze came through as she pulled on and the bottom moves felt really nice and she was able to maintain focus and presence through the top slab. For Campbell’s send, she finally stuck the bump move to the crimp below the blocky hold and held it together (barely) through the top. We celebrated by making margaritas at the end of the day.
