Climber’s Gear Falls Out on Crux of Intense E9

Anna Hazelnutt climbs Once Upon a Time in the Southwest E9 6c ( R), a steep and crimpy slabby at Dyers Lookout. This is Anna Hazelnutt’s first lead of anything above 5.9 in a big undertaking. The bottom half is a crimpy slab with little rests. The crux is a step left at half height, and the remaining top section steepens up. The holds get more positive but the previous 30-40m of the route start to take its toll. Anna will be releasing a full video of the process of the climb on her channel. so head over to her channel, subscribe and don’t miss out.
