Sera Gearhart does Blackout (8B)

Sera Gearhart, the #2 in the VL ranking game, has sent Blackout (8B) in Joe's Valley (UT). โ€Fell too many times trying to cross under to the jug before getting smart, crimp card retained. Conditions matterโ€(c) John Oungst
Can you tell us more about the ascent and the number of sessions needed?
I tried Blackout in the spring hoping I could do it in warm conditions before the end of the season. The crimps are really sharp so coming back in the fall it felt like a different boulder. Much easier in the cold! Overall took me a few sessions between both seasons.
