Watch Tom O’Halloran Make History with Baker’s Dozen 5.14d

Tom O’Halloran became the first Australian to climb 5.14d with the first ascent of his route Baker’s Dozen at The Pit in the Blue Mountains in June. In an interview with VerticalLifeMag.com, he said, “I got through the undercling move feeling strong but then fluffed it four moves later, losing concentration and tension. Undershooting on a long side-pull move. I fell and swore myself hoarse. I was sick of falling. All I did on this thing was fall. I knew I could do it, but I kept falling for some reason.” Watch the send below.
