Flash record breaking day by Will Bosi; 8B+, 8A+ and 8A+
How did you prepare for this trip?
I spent the last 3 months completely focused on getting as strong as possible by board climbing and doing campus boulders basically every session.

I would mix in climbing at Raven tor some mornings as well to keep the rock try hard.
