Note: The climbing starts at 9:00.

In search of the ultimate trad route, James Pearson decided he needed to “become a true French” in order to conquer Le Bronx (5.14c/8c+), a route freed by Francois Petit in 1994 in Orgon, France. Now Pearson’s metamorphosis continues as he travels to Chattanooga, Tennessee, to take on the 5.14 R Power Ranger project. Will he overcome his limits and then go beyond… the mostest?
