Bellavista 8b+ by Barbara Zangerl

Barbara Zangerl, one of the best multi disciplin climbers in the world reports on Facebook that she has done Alex Huber's Bellavista 8b+. It was originally 8c but later some holds have gotten bigger. In total Barbara has been on the route for 15 days including two tries last year. - I am super happy that i have finished my project "Bellavista" yesterday. It was a big day, reaching the summit at 2am. But it was so cool to stand on the top of west cime in the middle of the night in the shining moonlight together with Christian Winklmaier. He climbed also all pitches, only the cruxpitch and the 8a after he did not do (and he was really fast climbing and leading some pitches in the dark). It was a pleasure climbing with him.
