Another Day, More Hard Sends In Bishop For Nalle Hukkataival
This may have to become a recurring item but Nalle Hukkataival spent another day out on the boulders of Bishop, CA and he came away with quick 1 day sends of The Mandala (V12) and its corresponding sit start which is in the V13-14 range, this according to his 8a scorecard. If you're keeping score at home this is at least the 18th ascent of the Mandala SDS.

You sure post really late at night!
Up early to go on a climbing trip! Already 3 hours into the drive!
Ethan Pringle also did the Mandala SDS. I think he even discovered the tall man beta (V13) for the SDS. Just mentioned it to complete your list ;-)
He may have found that beta but I don't believe he ever did the whole line.
My bad! You're right. He found the beta but didn't climb the full line yet.
Any word on what Kilian and Anna are working on? That's a STRONG crew...Hope to see someone get on Spectre (do bucketlists include outlandish deams?...if so, I'll amend mine)
