Watch Anna Hazelnutt on 5.13R Trad in the U.K.
She started to work it earlier this year and continued to project it before her send on the same day with a U.K. crack crusher
American Anna Hazelnutt recently redpointed Once Upon a Time in the Southwest E9 6c (5.13a/bR), a steep and crimpy slab at Dyers Lookout in the U.K. This was her first trad lead of anything harder than a 5.9, but she had climbed 5.14 sport routes and V8 problems.
The bottom half is a edgy slab with little rests. The crux is a step left at half height, and the remaining top steepens up. The holds get more positive but the previous 30 to 40 metres of the route takes a toll.
She sent the route on the same day that crack climbing legend Tom Randall did, and her send is featured on his and Tom Whittaker’s Wide Boyz YouTube channel below.
