Sonnie Trotter on Master Blaster

Master Blaster 5.13c/d is in Zion National Park. It was first freed by Seattle bad ass Ben Gilkinson. Sonnie Trotter and Lauren Lee made the second and third ascents, back to back.

“It was a great experience because the exposure was stunning, but the cracks size, forced me to learn ring locks in a roof. It was likely the most painful experience I’ve had on a rope, but the line was so clean and steep I just had to suck it up,” said Trotter.
