The hardest part about Trailblazer V9 was the undoubtably the conditions. Just getting there after a massive blizzard was a project. 11+ moves in breezy -5 C is sadomasochism. It was so cold, on the first send my camera froze to death. I had to warm the memory card and batteries and send it again. A variety of high starts have been done on Trailblazer for reduced difficulty and quality. I'm going to quote the goat:
"Not starting matched on the jug is a hate crime against bouldering aesthetics."Ben Smith
The winter storms have done serious damage to multiple sections of the Grover approach. As a gift to the community, I've done some serious trail blazing.
