During her 2017 comp circuit, Alex Puccio made a quick trip to Switzerland to take a crack at Bernd Zangerl’s burly testpiece, New Base Line (V14) in Magic Wood. Puccio took down both New Base Line and the power-endurance classic Riverbed (V13). New Base Line is her third of four V14s: Jade, Wheel of Chaos, New Base Line, and Penrose Step.
