Bryce Viola claims the third ascent of Nuclear War (~V14) in New York, not long after Ashima Shiraishi made the first repeat. Viola says he “felt the problem might only be V13,” but “also commented that he climbed
the problem differently than Ashima and that her way was way harder than his,” according to New England Bouldering.
