Alizee Dufraisse does Kingda Ka (8B)
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
It is a very beautiful and inspiring boulder which is pretty scary. It has been very tricky for me to find out the beta. Some very balancy moves took like two months to solve. I prefer to invest my time in a boulder I would be proud to do. After like two months of trying it I suddenly found a way with the feet transition and then pretty fast could send it. As the snow was coming it was stressful and I am very happy to be able to do it before the pass closes.
