Delaney Miller completes Fat Camp (9a)
Delaney Miller, with two 8c+' under her belt, has signed up to Vertical-Life by logging Fat Camp (9a) in Rifle (CO). The 29-year-old has been an active competition climber for ten years until 2018. In 2015, she had her best year being Top-13 four times in the World Cup. (c) Mack Lambert
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+).
