Ultra classic. Crux after crux. Almost fell on the last one

"Fought my way to the tippy top of Shadowboxing, 5.14d, on Thursday evening. It was a real Disney princess situation up there with all the autumn leaves swirling around in the wind – princess condies, as we now refer to them. I did my first 5.13 (The Beast) and my first 5.14 (Zulu) in Rifle. It's always exciting to complete a line I'm proud of in this quirky little canyon that allows so much laziness on the approach and demands so much try hard on the wall. Shadowboxing is 90% underclings, 10% micro crimps, and 100% delicate feet, so it's a 200% route. Under the tutelage of my Shadowboxing coach, friend, and partner for this Rifle season, @neelyquinn, I did weekly bicep curls, which helped me recover on the undercling rests and power through the undercling cruxes. Thanks for all your support and advice along the way, Neel! Thanks for the send belay @tarakerzhner, and for mirroring my unwavering determination to sleep in the canyon, despite warnings against the cold. Side note, it is now too cold to sleep in the canyon. Seek sun. [] by my main squeeze and the only non slaydie who has dared to join us this season, @arjandekock." Paige via Instagram

Attempted end of last day onsight - fell right on the top. Excellent route though, one to come back for.

Cleaned up after failed OS attempt last year. Felt very hard! OS from bolt 5 to the top. [2]

Bolt to bolt to suss it.

Came together really well. Excellent power endurance rig. [3]

Sent on my 6th try. I found the low crux to be challenging, but enjoyed the route. A left kneepad makes for a glorious rest before the final headwall.

One OS attempt on Lucy's recommendation. I was pretty destroyed, and this certainly finished me.

Did one OS attempt on this which quickly turned into a bolt-to-bolt battle to the top. Would be a great project. Nearly all sidepulls and pinches with wild moves up the top arete.

Repeat, gearing up.

End of the day. Surprised that I read the sequences correctly. Amazing route. One of the best in Rifle.

Wow.... crux is cruxy? couldn't get past it...

3rd go in the rain, crux move is memorable
