Thomasina Pidgeon Sends Swiss V11

Thomasina Pidgeon is one of Canada’s most accomplished boulderers and she recently sent a difficult problem in Magic Wood.

The 39-year-old often spends her time on Canada’s West Coast, but has been touring Europe on and off.

She recently sent Supersupernova at the popular Magic Wood in Switzerland. “Never thought I’d try this, but when the forest is wet and everyone is psyched,” said Pidgeon after her send. “Surprisingly fun.”
