Third 8b+ in a month by Cameron Hรถrst (12)
Cameron Hรถrst has done Dead Souls in American Fork which was his sixth 8b+ out of which three just the last month. "Fun route, but super mentally exhausting--skipping the 4th clip is scary...and I took a few bad, near-ground falls. ouch!"
His father Eric, a well known coach and auther of several climbing training books, comments the fall potential from eight metres.
"Cam sent the route on his 3rd day of work--local climbers brought crash pads to the cliff base so I could let a with a little more rope out and soften the fall a bit. Still, after belaying Cam on two especially bad falls from crux--I, as Dad and responsible adult, considered stopping him from attempting the climb further. The risk calculus was difficult, but given the crash pads in place I gave in to Cam's wish to try the route again, sine he fell twice from the last hard move.
