Sera Gearhart ticks European Human Being (8A+)
Sera Gearhart, with over 40 boulders 8A and beyond under her belt, has completed European Human Being (8A+) located at 3100 m elevation in RMNP (CO).
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I think I gave myself altitude sickness and I havenโt been able to stomach eating much so I felt super shaky and nauseous yesterday. Very happy that I was able to put it together even feeling so awful! I opted for the double clutch method since it was a bit warm to control the last move. It was cool because thatโs not how I usually climb. Beta inspired by Alex Johnson!
