We are pleased to announce that Juan Fercovic sent Pulse (5.14a) this evening on his second try of the night. This one is special because Juan is about to be a father any minute and had a tiny bit of extra pressure to send this week.

Juan began working the route last spring but was plagued by finger injuries and found himself back on it this spring. After falling off the second last jug last weekend, Juan was determined to come back when conditions were better. Conditions were not better today! It was hot and muggy in the canyon with wind here and there but Juan fought to make the send today! Once again, Nic Lucky Charm’ Vissers was belaying!
Congratulations Juan! Fantastic timing!
