Michaela Kiersch Sends Three 5.14c Routes in Almost a Week

Michaela Kiersch has sent her third 5.14c in just over a week with her tick of Fifty Words for Pump at Red River Gorge. Previously, she sent Southern Smoke and 24 Karats at RRG.

She has raised the bar for quick sends of 5.14+ routes at the RRG. Only a few weeks ago, she locked down fourth place at the USA Bouldering Championships.
