A fine effort (I don't think I'll ever climb 28 in any style, let alone trad, gear in hand), but I certainly believe she TRd it first and preplanned all the gear. Not trying to detract from the climb or the effort, but it wasn't a "pure" ascent as many people would define it.
It didn't look that run out to me, and if the two pieces below the baby stopper were good, perhaps MA15 might be a better rating than R. |
