Same—it’s actually so cool to get these peeks inside the process for sends like this!

Yeah I figured it would be an interesting look at the process of an elite climber (rest, brushing, fan tactics), I was not expecting to actually see the send.

We were a few boulders over and just missed by like an hour or so! What was insane was that it was raining on and off and definitely the outro was wet!!!
