Matt Fultz FA’s two 8C’s in a day

Matt Fultz, with 29 boulders 8C or 8C+ under his belt, has had a remarkable day in Cascade doing the first ascents of The Hero of Ages (8B+) and Death's End (8C).

Can you tell us more about those two 8C FA’s?
I have been having such a fun time climbing in the forest this Summer. I have been trying two projects in parallel for the past several weeks. Sometimes both in a day, but more often switching between each every other session. I arrived last week on a perfectly cold night, feeling rested and strong. I was able to send Death’s End on my first try from start for the day, then I used the psych to do the same on Hero of Ages about 20 minutes later.

Cascade is really becoming a powerhouse for hard climbing in Idaho. I think there are 15 or more 8Bs or harder all within a 5 minute walk of each other. I’m hopeful more people make the trip up and visit these special boulders this Fall.
