Biographie 9a+ by Margo Hayes

Matty Hong reports on Instagram that Margo Hayes has done Biographie 9a+ in Céüse. Seven months ago Margo became the first female to do a 9a+ by La Rambla and last month she was #3 in the Junior Combined World Championship. (c) Jan Novak Biographie was put up by Chris Sharma in 2001 and with a broken hold in the start, it is considered harder than originally. In total, Margo did the 14th ascent of the 30 meter long route. Here is the 8a interview after she did La Rambla where she among other things said that, "Most of my training is climbing. I do try to run 1-4 miles a few times a week. On top of that, I fit in some strength training and flexibility work where I can. My routine is always changing, but these things stay constant. When I have the opportunity, I jump on the trampoline and swing on the bars! This is my favorite type of cross training." Here are an interesting quote in a recent Cafe Kraft video: I think mentally we limit ourselves much more than physically. If you want push yourself and reach your full potential you have to focus on what's going on upstairs.
