The Madness
Youth athlete Tanner Bauer reflects on his recent trip to Spain.
During the month of May 2018, Mad Rock athlete Christopher Miller traveled to the Grampians, one of Australia's rock climbing meccas. This year, however, he left his rope and harness behind, shifting his focus to the boulders.
As I stand and straighten out my right leg, I sigh as now the process needs to be repeated. I think to myself how top roping has never been this difficult – ever.
After 6 days of effort, I was finally able to link the shoulder breaking first move, the dreaded foot traverse, the tricky horizontal arete, the unintuitive hand flip, and the sharp finish to produce possibly Joe’s Valley’s hardest boulder problem!
