Sera Gearhart sends Morphine (8B)
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.
