SCARPA Athlete Lucie Hanes’s (lucierathbun) latest project in the Instinct VSR LV | Grey Matter, 5.14a on bullet stone | 📍 Crystal Cave at Rifle Mountain Park After hours of hard work, Lucie sent the climb, marking the first female ascent on the route. Let’s go, Lucie! More about this project 👇 “I usually choose the Drago LV for Rifle routes because I love how the soft-as-butter rubber molds to glassy rock so well, but I needed something slightly firmer to support the many tenuous kneebars on this route. The Instinct VSR LV was perfect in that regard: still plenty soft enough to confidently smear my feet on these edgeless blocks, and just firm enough to brace the kneebars. They really helped hold me in and ward off the dreaded calf pump so I could cop a quick shake!” #scarpana #noplacetoofar #scarpaclimb #scarpaathlete
