Ajda Remškar does Corrida as her first 8c

Ajda Remškar, national youth team manager for Slovenia, has sent Corrida (8c) in Mišja Peč.

Can you tell us more about the ascent and your climbing background?
Been climbing for over 2 decades! I started in a local club in Slovenia, then competed for the Slovenia youth team, moved to Scotland where I competed for the University of Edinburgh, and after coming back home to Slovenia started rock climbing more. I currently work as a national youth team manager, and still actively climb a lot. The last 6 months have been mega—training, dedicating more time to being outside, surrounding myself with awesome people; everything just clicked and it’s been really fun climbing all these cool iconic routes. In October I did Kaj ti je deklica? (first 8b+, 7 att), so it made sense to try the next one up. The last third of Corrida was some of the most enjoyable climbing I’ve ever done. As a numbers person, 8c has been a big dream of mine for ages so it really means a lot that it’s finally a reality.

What are your 2026 plans and ambitions?
The international season is kicking off so I’ll be busier with travelling and work, but hopefully squeeze in a trip here and there, and of course there’s still so much to do in Slovenia. I’m looking forward to see how Kingslayer (8c, was trying it last summer) feels this year, but honestly I’ve done so little rock climbing before last couple years that everywhere I go there’s still so much to try.
