8c by Mirko Caballero (12)

Mirko Caballero finishes of his long Euro trip by doing his first 8c, Stop Sika in Rawyl. "Decided to check out Rawyl for my last 4 days in Europe, and I get to send my first 8c!!! Took me 4 tries... Sick route and amazing scenery. PSYCHED! I felt really strong after 2 weeks bouldering in Magic Wood." Mirko has grown a lot lately and is 165 cm tall. He needed only four tries over two days for the send. The only twelve year olds in the history of climbing that have a better tick list are Ashima Shiraishi and Adam Ondra.
