## Delaney Miller
Delaney Miller sent Shadowboxing 5.14d in Colorado after eight falls at the top.

> I put a lot of work into training for this route. None of the moves are particularly hard, but it’s a very sustained route, with long sections of punchy, difficult climbing. The last boulder in particular gave me quite a bit of trouble. I fell at the top eight times before punching through. Took quite a bit more effort than The Crew 5.14c.
## Route Details
Shadowboxing was first climbed by Jonathan Siegrist in 2011 and graded 5.14d by Jon Cardwell in 2015.
## Climbing Context
Jonathan Siegrist noted the route's difficulty and knee bar mid-crux, suggesting 5.14d is accurate for Colorado's stiff grades.

> Climbing on the route fresh and having the opportunity to think over the route’s difficulty, in addition to the unfortunate new discovery of a knee bar mid-crux has lead me to believe that 14c is a more accurate suggestion. Colorado, and certainly Rifle, have a reputation for stiff grades that I feel I should uphold. Like I’ve mentioned previously, I think that the best thing we can do with grades is take them lightly, remain honest and strive to keep consistency within an area.
## Key takeaway

Delaney Miller sent Shadowboxing 5.14d in Colorado after eight falls at the top.
