Sera Gearhart sends Morphine (8B)

Sera Gearhart, who previously has done ten boulders 8A+ or 8B, has sent Morphine (8B) at 221. "It took me 4 sessions. I went after work in the dark one day to try moves, came back to do it another session and really messed up my skin, then tried one day with my fingers completely taped and ended up leaving because it didn't work at all haha. I did it second try going back the 4th day."

Do you have your sights set on 8B+ now?
I'd love to try 8B+, I really haven't tried any yet. I think the obvious ones that suit me well are mostly outside of the United States and I can't leave the country because of my job. I'll find something to try soon!

Can you tell us about your profession and what a typical work week looks like for you?
I work as a government contractor for health care quality improvement:) I really enjoy it but I can't work outside of the country because it's a security risk. I work a lot and it's dark a lot of the time when I'm able to get out in the winter. Right now it is not fun hahaha. I try to leave early twice a week after work to sneak in a shorter session and I climb as much as I can on the weekends. I don't climb inside very much at all :) [I] usually don't climb inside in a week.
