Cranking at the Gold Coast

Post by SCIN »

Ben Cassel from Ohio has been cranking this past week.
He sent two sick hard projects at the Gold Coast. One of them 5.14a!

That's badass. Gongrats to Bennie, I have seen him pull some pretty sick stuff, and he is always super modest about climbing hard. Glad some one sprayed for him because I doubt he would.

NICE WORK Bennie!!! I've seen him climb, it's unreal! His wife, Tracy, can pull down, too! They both rock.

Man, I don't know how he does it. Doesn't a 14a have to involve some sort of v10 boulder problem?
