โ€It sure felt nice to try hard and get to the top of a boulder after lots of time spent mostly slipping and sliding around on my project. This boulder has some of the most impressively terrible holds Iโ€™ve ever pulled on! I was pleased to get it done fast and not split a tip!โ€

The 33-year-old, with five previous 8B+โ€™ to her name, has won ten World Cups. Her big project for the trip is Hazel Grace Sit (8C) but the heatwave in combination with a muscle tear in her forearm made her opt for another hard boulder.
