Fragile Steps 8B (A+) by Irina Kuzmenko

Irina Kuzmenko, who did her first 8A just some eights months ago and who was #14 in the Moscow WC in April, has done Fragile Steps 8B (A+) in Rocklands. The Russian did her first 8A just some eight months ago. "it was my first normal rock trip in life, before I never have been on boulders. I was just without any goal and motivation! Happy that I found my passion finally. Me and my boyfriend Vadim (Timonov) just changed a bit of our style of climbing training before the rocks. It’s started to be more crimpy, also included a bit of campusing and maximal pull ups. For us really important to keep the power, because after Africa we’ll compete in World Championship in Tokyo. This African trip we was waiting so much and we plan to stay here almost one month! Hope it’s enough to do all the projects, but in my experience it’s never enough time."
