50 Words For Pump 5.14b/8c | Red River Gorge

Equipped by Hugh Leoffler, 50 was a long-standing project for over 10 years before becoming the Men’s “ultimate route” at the 2007 Petzl Roctrip. During the event, climbing legends like Chris Sharma and Dani Andrada gave it a go before French climber Mickaël Fuselier claimed the first ascent. After the FA, two bolts were moved in the crux to eliminate a difficult clip and follow the natural line of holds more directly. Additionally, several kneebars were discovered in the top endurance section, solidifying the grade at a hard 14b. Despite these changes, this remains one of the original test pieces at the Red—and still one of the best. Thanks to Crux Power for sponsoring this video!
