Graham McGrenere Sends A-Block (v12) in Squamish, BC | Recent News
We are pleased to announce that Graham McGrenere has made an ascent of A-Block (v12) in Squamish, BC.
Graham has been putting in a ton of hours training over the past year and it looks like it is paying off, as he recently sent Room Service (v1) and The Pool (v10). Speaking to Graham, A-Block took him a number of tries over four different sessions. He reported that it was harder than Squaminator but much easier than Room Service.
Elan Jonas McCrae also made an ascent of A-Bock (v12) last week as he revisited Singularity, also making progress on that problem.
