yayyy i feel super lucky to have people in my corner who are so supportive (endless brushing, fanning, hauling pads, suggesting diff betas, filming, bringing onigiri, trying all the climbs around this climb and endless stoke) 🤍

i learned a lot on this climb:
- explore more ways to hold a hold (thx Tommy for the index beta)
- even if the beta looks good & has worked for a lot of ppl, if it doesn’t feel right with your body, then adjust it
- dead point accuracy is so hard
- smaller brushes for cracks work (thx Maranda for winning the petzl brush)
- humidity condies are real
- as much as i wanna be a super cool lock off and crimp girlie, im a sloth and open hand girl

finally stood on top of a rock at Moe’s… this climb is funnn but was tough for me with all that power enduro. lots of options yet not depending on height😂 holds are juicy, heels are juicier!

FANTASTICCCCC final weekend in squamish!! 1st v7!!! from not being able to establish to this 5 sessions later — proud of myself!

session 1: try to establish & learn how to knee bar
session 2: learn to hold the knee bar and release it
session 3: dial the middle section to the yoink to top out
session 4: dial the yoink to top out (1st time ever catching the 1st move)
session 5: catch the 1st move once & send

spending those sessions dialing the middle section and top section paid off because muscle memory kicked in after I stuck the 1st move & felt fresh!!!

many attempts, many many fails, many rest timers, and MANY MANY MANY friends who supported me. thank you to everyone who hauled a pad/supplied a pad, brushed a hold, set a timer, had snacks, gave beta, spotted me/power spotted me/carried me off the ledge, took footy, supplied lights, cheered, and most importantly… brought the stoke and good vibes (cuz ya girl is a vibe girl and if vibes are off, so am i 🙂‍↕️)

i learned so much on this climb and will forever cherish those lessons and memories at this boulder ❤️esp @csartoshi @stan_cs @tornado_ale for building a bridge for us to cross the river to climb this today 😆

LAST GO BEST GOOO!!! #finalboss 🙂‍↔️ PTO worth ittttttt! thanks @tornado_ale for the girls tripppp!!!

this climb taught me how to toe down, weight & press through my feet (not just place em), how to meter my umph and not depend on just my long reach 🦥

couldn’t have done it without the countless spots, brushes, psych/hike and beta support on all the sessions leading up to this from @csartoshi @tornado_ale @stan_cs 🥹

📣 wouldn’t have pushed thru the end without the cheering from Maranda, Tommy, Ale, Joe, Ceri… high key i was panicking cuz i messed up the top lol

doesn’t look like much, but it was a good growing opportunity for me… feel more in tune with myself after putting this down 😤

this climb was a struggle because of my body dimensions —> too short for tall beta, too tall for short beta, weak at dead points, and had bad habits with sagging my hips/depending on reach… so i had to figure out beta that would work for me — even if it didn’t make much sense / not beta useful for anyone else!!! i put the deets on Kaya lol won’t bore the IG audience

thanks to @csartoshi for spotting me and @tornado_ale for drawing an arrow when i needed to learn to deadpoint ➡️⬅️
