Thanks to the Kauks for inspiring me especially Lonnie (who I think has done the route 4 times now рџ¤Ї) and all the valley friends this year whoвЂ™ve spectated or participated in this process and supported me along the way especially (lucky belay) рџ“ё photo: post shared by Hazel Findlay on at 11:06pm PSTДЇindlay has sent a number of hard single-pitch trad routes this year, including Conception, a 5.13 crack in Indian Creek. Of course itвЂ™s nice to bask in send-glory but really the process is where IвЂ™ll take the value from and thereвЂ™s no chance this route hasnвЂ™t made me a better climber/person. To give you an idea of how hard this route was for me вЂ“ the lower boulder crux is the hardest boulder problem IвЂ™ve ever done. It was stressful getting heartbreakingly close twice but in reality doing it on the last day of the trip meant that this route was the perfect challenge for me, testing me right to the end. So I trained properly with the help of all summer and I committed myself to these 35 metres for the whole valley season. Just because it was so beautiful to look at, so fun to move upwards on and in such a magical place. I knew as soon as I tried it very briefly in November 2018 that if I was ever going to climb one very hard (for me) single pitch this would be it. Today I climbed Magic Line fourth try of the day, on the last day of the trip with the pressure on and an emotional roller coaster of (more) breaking foot holds, a sore finger, numb feet and wind-blown water from Vernal Falls. вєпёЏGushing and long post to followвЂ¦ (but feels appropriate).
