Can you tell us more about the ascent and the process behind?
I did it after Grand Illusion (8C+) but I finished just two days before heading back to Korea. I think it took around 7 sessions. The hardest part was falling more than 10 times on the final jump move. If I get the chance, I’d love to come back to SLC again—the good vibes and good friends are already making me miss it.

What are your autumn and winter plans?
In the fall, I think I’ll head to Mizugaki, and in the winter, I’m not sure yet, but I’m considering Red Rocks!
