โIt's a battle of endurance, on a very overhanging wall that starts with a first pitch in 8a+ and climbs crescendo to the crux just below the anchor, a dyno followed by some very physical and challenging moves. After falling 3 times on the final dyno, it took me 6 days to reach the top without falling! Climbed without kneepad ๐โ
Katherine is a former competition climber who some 30 times has been top-30 in the World Cup. She has previously done two 9aโs and several hard MPโs up to 8b+. In other words, her track record is one of the most impressive out there.
