Amanda Berezowski Sends Young Blood 5.13

West Coaster Amanda Berezowski has sent her first 5.13 on granite. This past weekend, she sent Young Blood 5.13a on the Cacodemon Boulder. The six-bolt route is steep and burly and has a powerful dyno. “Who says you can’t send mid-afternoon in 30-degree heat? Today, I’m quite happy to have sent Young Blood 5.13a. This was my second day on this and my first granite 5.13. This route also has a few of my weaknesses (slab and dynos). In this picture (below) I’m sticking the dyno.”

Young Blood was first climbed by Jim Sandford in 1991 and repeated not long after by his wife Lola. Watch a send of Young Blood below.
