Alex Johnson, of Fort Collins, Colorado (as of Sunday) sent Sunspot on Monday afternoon. This being her first trip to the RMNP in a year, and fresh in from Wisconsin (represent!), the elevation didn't seem to have an effect on this extremely talented athlete. She tried all of the moves once, then I forced her to try it once from the beginning to see if she could get a two peice. She started, and just kept climbing. As she gracefully jumped to the jug, she hung there and stared at me and said, "now what?!" I screamed, "FINISH IT!! TOP IT OUT!!!" Gym climbers! She almost dropped off like it was the finish hold at the world cup. We will straighten her out. She also sent it with only two small Organic pads and just me spotting (brave). This is her first V11, and the last rock that she climbed was a highball V8 on her trip to Colorado last summer. She has also done Body Karate, V9, in Southern Illinois in 2006. She was kind of mad she sent it so fast because she was so psyched to project it. Guess you will have to find something a little harder for you Al. Way to Go!!
