Bad runout: Hazel Findlay shows nerves of steel

In the summer of 2021, Hazel Findlay scored the hard trad route Muy Caliente (E9, 6c) in Pembroke, Wales. A daring line with huge runouts that requires a strong lead climbing morale. Now there is the video for the solid inspection.

Hazel Findlay nothing will faze you that easily. The numerous difficult trad climbs that she has been able to climb successfully testify to this. The test piece Muy Caliente from Tim Emmett checks in at difficulty level 6c. Two 10-meter runouts give the route a lot of spice and ensure the addition E9. This dance far above the last self-laid safety catch does not leave even the Trad tried and tested Briton completely cold. She comments on her ascent: "This route is so scary."
