Tonight's Friday Night Video follows US climber - and British trad aficionado - Anna Hazelnutt as she repeats Peace (5.13d/8b) in Tuolumne Meadows, Yosemite National Park.
The 45-metre granite slab was first climbed by Ron Kauk in the '90s and featured in the Masters of Stone video series. Earlier this month, Anna added a new extension to Peace, which she named Love (5.14a/8b+). She then continued to the top of Medlicott Dome via the Bachar-Yerian, calling the entire multipitch 'Inner Peace'.
In the video, Anna shares how climbing the famous pitch while appreciating the serenity of Tuolumne Meadows helped her to find inner peace just at the right moment.

Nice film shame about the Vogon poetry and the AI generated piano chords
I’m more inclined to listen to her take on it and description of how it made her feel through whatever medium she chooses.
Strange looking slab.

Having climbed routes next to it (with much bigger holds), I can confirm it ain't no slab!
Great looking line, great climbing and some seriously impressive breathing. Not quite sure why the topless bathing scenes were included though!
