June, 2006, Squamish, B.C. Sonnie
Trotter climbed the first free ascent of Cobra Crack (5.14). Sonnie
worked the overhanging, thin-finger crack 30--40 times over the past
few years, often rope-soloing the route to dial the moves, before
completing it all-free. Sonnie said, "It's very rare to find a climb
that is both overhanging, and so aesthetic. The fingers fit inside, but
barely -- if the crack was any more shallow, it would be just another
impossible wall, if the crack was much steeper, it may be impossible --
so I consider that route a gift for climbers. I've spent the better
half of 10 years looking for a climb like that. It's perfect."
