Noah Wheeler ticks Topaz (8C)

Noah Wheeler, who earlier this year sent his first two 9A’s, has done Topaz (8C) in Wild Basin. ”1st try this season! Found some new beta last season where you skip the foot sequence and just campus bump to the edge. Worked on fingers and tension alot this summer so it felt pretty chill this time around.”

Can you tell us more about your summer training?
Training for some crimpy tensiony climbs abroad (I’ll keep it a secret for now) so I’ve been really focused on that style. I’ve been almost exclusively board climbing, but in a very structured manner, emphasizing foot tension circuits and climbs for the bulk of sessions intermixed with crimpy campus and dead point style climbs, with capacity training at the end of the sessions. Going to Europe later this fall/winter!
