8c+ by Nina Caprez: Girl power!

Nina Caprez who has successfully tried most disciplines from Boulder WC's to multi-pitch climbing, has done the 45 m Mind Control, 8c+ in Oliana. "I did the route on my 6th try. One last year, 4 work outs this week and on my first serious try I did the redpoint." What was the key thing to be able to do it and what is next? Being calm and super psyched. Since the last year, this line was a dream for me! Three more weeks in Spain and then Argentina for a bolting trip with the team petzl for the next petzl roc trip. super cool!
