Sasha DiGiulian Sends New 5.13 at Red River Gorge

Sasha DiGiulian has made the first ascent of Swim Test 5.13+ at the Real Deep End. The route was bolted by Dario Ventura and shortly after DiGiulian’s send, Dru Mack made the second ascent. For those keeping track, Mack’s was the “first male ascent” as DiGiulian noted. She named it Swim Test because of a final swim test she had to pass to graduate from Columbia. Rocktoberfest is currently taking place at the Red.
