Julia Bobak Sends Her First 5.14a

West Coast climber Julia Bobak ticked her f irst 5.14a with her climb of Motivation at Horne Lake on Vancouver Island. It came after a few seasons of Bobak pushing the grades up through the 5.13s. After her climb, she noted, “Beyond stoked to have put away my fall project, and first of the grade. While projecting hard sport climbs always requires some sacrif ice, I feel like battling this one through constant illness and injury took a little more out of me than usual, both physically and mentally. Instead of getting psyched on the next project, I’m looking forward to a few weeks on the rest-eat-physio cycle.”
