Phat Club (Camp) 9a by Dan Mirsky (38)
It was kind of an epic process. I tried the link up a little bit in 2019 and thought I was close and was going out to try and send one day in September when I hurt my back (not on the route). That led to back surgery…. I tried it again last summer but didn’t feel quite ready in my recovery process so I put aside. This spring/ summer I felt physically capable but let it get in my head a bit and actually fell off in the final roof 7 times before I sent which was classically very anticlimactic. I finally got out of my own way and it all felt quite chill when I did it. I also just turned 39 (today in fact) so it was nice to get a win in as I am getting older, even if it was a link up🥴
