La Rubia 8c+ by Muriel Sarkany (42)

Muriel Sarkany, one of the best competition climbers in the history, has done the 50 meter long endurance monster, La Rubia 8c+ in Villanueva del Rosario. Three years ago, the 153 cm tall did her first 9a Punt'X being 39 years old. Between 1997 and 2004, Muriel won the Overall WC 5 times and the remaining 3 years she was the runner-up! (c) Julie Sprooten - I tried the project two weeks in April until it became completely wet and then I came back last week. For the next month, I would like to use my good shape to try others routes but I have to see with the forecast! Here these last days, it rained a lot and been very cold, 7 degrees. After around 35-40 min of climbing, my feet were like ice and I wasn't feeling them anymore. It was really mental.
