Wheeler brothers send Gateway (8C)

Benn Wheeler and Noah Wheeler, with three 9Aโ€™s to his name, have sent Gateway (8C) in Mount Blue Sky. Little brother Benn doing his first 8C, after eight 8B+โ€™, comments.

โ€It was a great moment sending back to back, we both did it in 2 days and had a similar progression. The boulder fits my style perfectly. We shared some beta but used a slightly different methods, as his arms are shorter. Iโ€™m around the same height but have 4 inches [10 cm] in wingspan.โ€
