Aleks Taistra (37) does 400m Hotel Supramonte 8b
Aleksandra Taistra has done the 11 pitches Hotel Supramonte in Sardina, including two 8b pitches. She started working on it last year and this year it has been an ongoing project since last month.
" In our second day of climbing (with 2 days rest between) I was able to finish my dream with a big smile on my face :) This day I climbed quite fast. I needed 5 hours to climb 1st 6 pitches (7b+, 7c+, 8b, 8a+, 8b, 7c). When I arrived at the last pitch 6b+ the stressful situation started. I had to climb 50m of poorly protected (2 bolts) 6b+ in complete darkness. I got lost in the wall and tried to improve my trad skills ;) My climbing partner Simone Papila was great support that gave me faith that I climb each pitch and finish my story with Hotel this day. I also would like to thanks Valter De Lucia for fantastic support last season.
I have never supposed how big an effort it would be to climb so many pitches in a row without giving up. I would like to express myself well but itโs quite hard to speak about feelings that everybody should experience alone to understand what is going on.โ

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders.
