Digiulian and Marin make first repeat of 8c MP in Madagascar

Sasha Digulian and Edu Marin, some of the best multi-discipline climbers in the world, have made the first repeat of the 700 meter Mora Mora 8c in Madagascar. It was bolted ground-up by Francisco Blanco and Toti Valés and in 2010, and Adam Ondra made the FA. Full story including more great pics by Francois Lebeau. Sasha: I am excited to have arrived at a point in my fitness that I could send my hardest big wall climb yet! We each sent every pitch from the ground up and both lead the Crux. Edu: It has been a tremendous challenge with a very technical style and really small holds. One of the most incredible and beautiful experiences of the last years.
