5.14b In Rifle By Emily Harrington
The historic season of sending in Rifle continues as Climbing reports that Emily Harrington repeated Joe Kinder's Waka Flocka (5.14b), her first of the grade in Rifle.
Update - More from Harrington on her blog:
I learned alot from climbing on Waka Flocka. I learned how to climb more powerfully, to try harder, and to have patience. Like Chris said, every route is a process, and even the mental aspects don’t come easily. Most importantly though, I realized through this experience how important climbing is to me. I went through a phase a few years ago where I wasn’t sure if climbing was my true passion, or if I’d just gone down that path subconsciously because I didn’t know any different.
It took several years to realize how much I care about this sport and the lifestyle that goes along with it.
I am fortunate to have this life, and I wouldn’t want it any different.
