This summer in Squamish, Ethan got on Heavy Fuel (5.13 R); Will Stanhope’s 2021 line in the Western Dihedrals that follows a series of cracks on the old aid route Stellar System.
After a chil, later than usual start, he cruised up to P4 to battle the crux; sending on his third go. He quested upward and pushed through three more 5.12s he’d never tried before—sending each one second try. In between there was dirty, spicy(R👻), adventurous climbing that kept things interesting.
With this send, Ethan joins the short list of ascensionists on Heavy Fuel.
Stay tuned for more news on what Ethan got up to in 2025!
