We are pleased to announce that local climber and SCM contributor Luke Zimmerman sent ‘The Terminator’ this morning. Luke had been trying this project on and off since January but really committed himself to it over the last month. Chatting with Luke, he said that this was a personal best for him regardless of the grade. Luke fell off the last move of the traverse last week and still struggled at the end today, improvising his beta at the very end. What a fight!
For those who care, ‘The Terminator’ is a link up starting on ‘Squaminator’ into what is well-known as ‘Squaminator Traverse’. For all you history buffs out there, the original name of ‘Squaminator’ is actually called ‘Coping’ and the full link up is actually called ‘Squaminator’. At the time of writing, we never clarified what the original name of the ‘Squaminator Traverse’ actually is but most likely, it is called ‘Squaminator Stand’. Yes, that was confusing.
