Alex Puccio on Crown of Aragorn, ~8B, Hueco Tanks, Texas
© Joel Zerr

Alex Puccio has repeated the classic Crown of Aragorn (V13), ~8B, as well as two 8A+'s and more in a very productive day at Hueco Tanks.

What a fun, hard and productive day yesterday! I was able to send Crown of Aragorn V13, Full Monty V12, Platonique V12, Windy Ass V9, Ministry of Truth V9 and Glass Ass Crack V9 all in a day's work! 😄 It was my first day trying Crown of Aragorn, but I have done the V8 stand start many many years ago and I have tried Full Monty in years past when I wasn't strong enough. It has been about 4 years since I was last in Hueco and I'm sad it's only a short trip this time, but I will be back for sure!!!

Alex' repeat of Crown of Aragorn was the second female ascent, after Ashima Shiraishi who did it in 2012 aged 11(!).
