Rad shot by @jtiezy! “When @stusmit won the ‘name that climb’ challenge back in 2016 I offered him a photo shoot as a joke. Turns out he was in the process of sending one of his many super secret projects. Here he is nailing the dyno on his project. Note the @metoliusclimbing 00 barely hanging in the crack behind him.” #tradisrad #climbing #grippedmagazine #squamish
