Jenny Lavarda sets a new female standard by 8c+ MP

Jenny Lavarda has done the famous multi-pitch Solo per vecchi guerrieri, 8c+ in the Dolomites. The route was put up by Maurizio "Manolo" Zanolla as 7c, 7b+, 8b and 8c+/9a. Jenny's boyfriend Marco Ronchi also did the route on the same afternoon as Jenny. Jenny was the combined World Champion in 2005 and in 2008 she won the Ice WC. With this amazing 8c+ MP, Jenny Lavarda could me considered the Queen of female rock climbing counting all the disciplines. Story by Jenny Click the picture to see one of the cruxes of the fourth 8c+/9a pitch - Both hands are off for a huge dyno! More Info to come!
