8c+ by Barbara Zangerl

Barbara Zangerl one of the best female-multi discipline climbers out there has done Chikane in Siurana, which is her first 8c+. (c) Jacopo Larcher "It took me about seven days this year to do Chikane. But I had a look on that one already two years ago. At that time I felt quite far away to connect the hard moves. This year the progress was good. It took me some days to work on the moves then I had a bad fall skipping a draw. After that fall I almost did it but I had some troubles with my mind. Luckily two days later I was more self-confident and finally Chikane was kind with me and didn't kick me off again. Feels so good to enjoy simple life here in Spain and get back into sport climbing mode.
