We are very pleased to announce that Ben Harnden sent Cobra Crack (5.14a) today. Ben has been trying Cobra Crack off and on since last summer and had his best go last week, making it four moves farther than his previous tries only to fall off the last hold. After every session, Ben had to wait a few days for the blister on his finger to heal before trying again. We are very psyched that he has finally put this project to rest.
