Ainhize Belar Barrutia ticks Ildonuska (8c)
Ainhize Belar Barrutia, who has sent ten routes 8c to 9a, over just the last year, has done
Ildonuska (8c) in Baltzola. The 18-year-old is runner-up in the ranking game after Martina Demmel. (c) Aitziber Narbaiza
Can you tell us more about your latest 8c?
The route has the same start as my current project and I decided to try it to combine and make different moves. Itโs a very long route, with an intense traverse and a crimpy final after some knees [kneebars]. I tried it a little a couple of months ago and yesterday I did it on my first go.
What's the other project you have going that shares a start with this one?
Iรฑi Ameriketan (9a), I have managed to make some very good tries, now I have to be patient and continue working!!
