Still in disbelief, but so so happy to have topped out Ray of Light, a beautiful line and my first 8B/V13 today!!! After 8 sessions it finally came together perfectly. Working these hard moves allowed for a breakthrough in the mental glass ceiling and I feel that I have grown as a climber because of it. What's next?? Who knows! I want to try it all; there's no reason not to. But for now it's time to celebrate!!

This was Nina's first of the grade.

A while back, not sure when exactly, Daniel Woods added a variation to the very same problem.

By exiting left, instead of right, he stacked another ~8B sequence on top of the Ray of light ~8B crux to produce Spray of light ~8C.

Was sick to connect the dots and get all physical on this rig.
