Brette Harrington Sends The Optimator 5.13

Top American all-round sender Brette Harrington has climbed the difficult Indian Creek crack called The Optimator 5.13-. The 35-metre ring-lock splitter is a well-known desert test-piece.

For three years I have been thinking about this route, waiting until I was ready to try it. The Optimator 13- is 110 feet of ring locking up a classic splitter crack, famous to Indian Creek. Yesterday it all came together for the send. Thanks @bronsonhovie for the belay! And ? by @drewsplan and amazing climbing with Caro North. @arcteryx @evolvusa @petzl_official
