Sierra Przychodzen does her first two 8A+โ€™

Sierra Przychodzen, with three 8Aโ€™s under her belt, has on the same weekend done two 8A+โ€™ in Squamish.

Room Service (8A+): โ€œDid not think I had it in me to do this let alone in 2 sessions. Super stoked this has been a dream climb for a long time.โ€

The Deputy (8A+): โ€Left heel left crimp lip jug ez.โ€

Can you tell us more about the great trip?
It was a short weekend trip to show a friend around squamish and I didnโ€™t actually expect to send anything. That main goal was to make progress on the deputy which has been my project for about a year. A guy at the boulder gave me new beta that involved a left heel and tiny intermediate crimp and that suited me better then what I was doing before. My first time trying the new beta was my send go.

We originally planned to just work on mods the next day but the conditions were too good to pass up trying room service. I tried it once before last fall but couldnโ€™t get even the first move so I was surprised when it felt very doable that day. My friend flashed it so psych was high and I was inspired to send!

What is coming up next?
Iโ€™ve been working on a Washington classic called Kingslayer but aside from that, I donโ€™t have any other big projects at the moment. I want to try harder things this season, challenge myself more, and just get outside as much as I can! Currently Iโ€™m looking for a new project that gets me psyched and inspired!
