Michaela Kiersch does Jack's broken heart (8A+)
Can you tell us more about the ascent of Jack's?
I tried Jack's last year and didn’t have the power to do most of the moves. I’ve been training for this trip since I got back from Spain so I’m excited to see it is working!
How fast did you send it and how have you prepared for the trip?
Climbing on the boards! Less endurance training 😉. One session, maybe 30/45 minutes. I think I did all the moves first or second try.
How long will you stay and what's next?
I will be in MW for a couple of weeks then back home 😁. You’ll have to wait and see!! I have a list, per usual.
