Allison Vest Sends Terminator V13 in Squamish
She's the first Canadian woman on record to send the grade
Allison Vest has sent the powerful boulder problem called Terminator V13 in Squamish. Vest was fresh off the World Championships in Hachioji, Japan, where she finished 47th in bouldering and 48th in lead.
It took less than 10 sessions for Vest to tick the classic route. Vest is the first Canadian woman on record to have sent V13, also known as 8B in the Font grading system. The problem links Squaminator into the Squaminator Traverse, which adds a top-out. Vest sent Squaminator V12 earlier this year.
“Those moments when the impossible suddenly becomes possible are both magical and fleeting,” said Vest. “I’m going to enjoy this one for as long as I can.” This spring in Squamish, Vest also ticked Agoraphobia V11 and Ozzmosis V11. Vest was the Canadian national bouldering champion in 2018 and is current national lead champion.
