8b OS and Dures Limites RP by Solveig Korherr

Solveig Korherr has had a great trip to Cรฉรผse where she onsighted Le chirurgien du crรฉpuscule (8b). "Wow! Iโ€™m really surprised and proud of this accomplishment. It was definitely my style and I guess with a bit of luck by reading the sequences well and a lot of trying hard somehow I made it to the top without falling. The slab was really nerve-wracking though, I almost blew it up there :D"

Later, on her fifth day, the 23-year-old did Dures limites (8c). "Probably one of my favourite ones so far. The first crux fit me much better than the top one. After falling three times in a row on the very last big move, Iโ€™m super psyched I finally stuck it from the ground. Thanks, Jon and all the strong Brianรงon kids for cheering me on!"

Previously she has onsighed four 8b's and redpointed 20 routes 8c to 9a. In the 8a ranking game, the german is #2. (c) Jon Shen
