Orbayu 8c MP, reserved by Caprez for three months

Sasha DiGulian has published a blog where she says that her big project this August, to challenge Orabayu 8c MP, has been cancelled. "We had arranged media and aligned our sponsors with the project proposal, yet this morning I received a message from a friend of mine from Switzerland, Nina Caprez, informing me that this has been her dream project and that her and her boyfriend, Cedric Lachat, have plans to rig the route with static lines and equipment for the film crew in June, and then they will be on the wall and try to complete it by August." Last week, Sasha contacted 8a and told us her plan and asked if we had some beta for the great multi-pitch. We told her to contact Nina. Now Sasha has said that due to respect of Nina as a professional climber she has decided to not interwine herself on Orabayu and she is looking for another MP project which could be the non repeated WoGü 8c, FA by Adam Ondra 2008. Orabayu is one of the hardest MP in the world and it will become a new standard for female once it is done. Sasha, who has been #1 female climber for several years, discusses this under the heading, "We are at a junction with pure projecting and new media culture circling around climbing...", What do you call it?
