Delaney Miller completes Fat Camp (9a)
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I put a lot of work into training for this route. None of the moves are particularly hard, but it's a very sustained route, with long sections of punchy, difficult climbing. The last boulder in particular gave me quite a bit of trouble. I fell at the top eight times before punching through. Took quite a bit more effort than The Crew (8c+).
