Richmond Bouldering 'Sweet Mouth' V8
Ken Tanaka bouldering in Richmond VA on the Buttermilk Trail on the Whale Bouldering sending 'Sweet Mouth' V8Β
This was my longest projects with 9 sessions. Β Previously 'Fade Away' V6 was my longest project with 7 sessions. Β I really enjoyed this process. Β This was the first time where I actually trained specifically to send the climb. Β I felt like this was a true progress in my climbing journey. Β This problem felt near impossible at the beginning of pulling on it back in December of 2024. Β It was great to see the progress that I made in a year of climbing. Β Now it's time to go back to my other project 'Short Nothing' V8. Β If I can manage to figure out how to do the last move then 'Sweet Nothing' will be my first V10! Β I am going to have to work on my hip mobility or general fixability to get my foot high enough in place to get into the mantle.Β Β
