8C 2nd day by Martin Strรกnรญk
Martin Strรกnรญk has done a quick two day ascent of Chris Sharma's Catalรกn Witness the Fitness 8C in Cova de ocell. "Yees, was it a long project in my head, made a quick trip here and did it in two days! Am I super fit right now or is it super easy? Totally my style, but really not hardest problem of this the year, happy Christmas!"
