Smoke Wagon 9a by Joe Kinder (42)
"Between working and tending to life I put in tries and somehow caught the window of opportunity with the sun. It was COLD as f-k but found myself dropping the guard and meeting the moment perfectly. I LOVE ROCK CLIMBING!"
How did you manage to keep warm?
The first part of the climb is a 7a+ and has a kneebar at the top so that warmed me up just enough plus the sun was out so that saved the day.
What is next?
Next is a return trip to Mollans and St Leger in Jan and Feb as it’s been a WHILE since 2018.
