We are pleased to announce that Yuki Kuroda sent The Great Arch (5.12d) yesterday in Squamish, BC. The Great Arch is a mixed line situated in South Gully across from Mercy Street. Although capable of much harder climbing, Yuki has struggled with a shoulder injury for the last last year and a half only to recently find out that she has a labrum tear that may require surgery. The send comes one day before meeting with the surgeon so it is especially significant as she prepares for possible surgery and rehabilitation. Congratulations Yuki!
