From Zero To 5.14 In 5 Months

Less than 5 full months since fracturing his heel while attempting Mandala SDS (V14) in Bishop, and about 1 month since taking his first steps outside of his cast, Ethan Pringle sent a 5.14 this past weekend.  He sent Beach Arete at Mickey’s Beach in California that apparently goes at 5.14a without using any chipped holds.  Nice work Ethan!
