8B (A+) by Mina Leslie-Wujastyk

Mina Leslie-Wujastyk has done The Pursuit Of Happiness 8B (A+) in Redhill outside Cape Town. (c) Jimmy Webb " I had two sessions in 2014 and then three more sessions this year, it was really satisfying to come back stronger (I did a lot of strength training over the winter). The next plan is to head to Rocklands for June, hopefully try some more hard boulders!" So what kind of strength training have you done? Lots of things but a big focus on max strength fingerboarding. Up to three times a week fingerboarding, lots of board climbing, also weighted pull ups and other conditioning exercises too. I did some anaerobic capacity work too but mainly relied on my fitness from route climbing and previous training. I had training plans from David Mason and Alex Barrows (they worked together with David mainly doing to strength/power stuff and Alex doing the fitness stuff).
