Sam Prior completes Trance (8C)

Sam Prior has in five sessions repeated Will Bosiโ€™s Trance (8C) in Peak District, after sending the 8B+ stand in 2023. โ€Thinking about trying it for 2 years, finally got around to it!โ€

Can you tell us more about the ascent?
Trance adds 8 moves into Bewilderness (8B+). I found the sit a bit harder than many so I had to have the top pretty wired. I thought I was just setting it up for next year but thankfully it came together quicker than I was expecting because a lot of rain has come in so could be the end of the limestone season!
