Local News ‘Luke Zimmerman sends Darkstar (v12/13); Graham McGrenere sends Agoraphobia (v11)’

Another magical day in the forest after a little rain to keep away those hot temperatures. We are pleased to announce that Luke Zimmerman made an ascent of Darkstar (v12/13). The line starts via Black Magic but then exits left on Llamas for Me, Please. Luke has been working up to sending Black Magic and came very close today. Congratulations Luke!

Had a really nice session at Gibbs Cave this evening. The left exit is feeling solid and I'm finally settled on a sequence for the right exit. Dark star (the low into black hole left) is the next step. If I can manage that, only the final goal of doing Black Magic will remain. . . . @organicclimbing @fiveten_official #organicclimbing #brandofthebrave #fiveten #squamishbouldering #squamishclimbing #climbonsquamish #climbing #rockclimbing #bouldering #squamish

In other news, Graham McGenere made quick work of Agoraphobia (v11) today after a few sessions. This was his first v11 in Squamish! Awesome!
