Julia Duffy completes Super Tweak (8c)
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
Super tweak has some of the hardest but coolest moves I have done on a route. The climb starts off with a 7c/v9 boulder problem. From there, the climbing is quite sustained until a good rest 3/4 of the way up the route. After the rest, there is a final 7c/v9 boulder crux involving a big mono move. I’m usually more of an endurance climber so this route felt like a big step outside of my comfort zone. It is certainly my hardest route to date so I’m very happy to get it done!
