Two 8B's by Allison Vest

Allison Vest, who last year did her first 8B+, has sent Pagan Poetry Low (8B) in Joe's Valley (UT), after trying it for some ten sessions. ”I really battled with this one! Has a lot of aspects that are my anti-style. Big moves, steep, powerful, underclings at the end… but also nice incut crimps that I love. I did the stand fast so I thought the low would just go but BOY was I wrong. Those three extra moves are hard and add a lot.” (c) Elias Murcko

Can you also say something about Green in the face (8B) in Castle Rocks (ID), you did the day after?
It felt like it had been a while since I had been able to tick something off my list but sometimes when one goes down the others follow suit. The day after I did Pagan, the temperatures in Idaho looked good and I knew that people would be up there with pads so I drove up for the day to try to take Green in the Face down and I’m very stoked it worked out!
