”As the weather forecast predicted very bad weather, I had doubts about how much I would actually be able to climb. It was very rainy, but between the rainy days I still found two dry boulders to try hard. It was a bit tricky to plan around the rain and find the dry boulders, but in the end it worked out perfectly.”

The 27-year-old had been doing IFSC competitions for ten years straight up until this year. Her best results are being #5 and #6 in two World Cups in 2018. With a greater focus on rock, this year, the German has completed ten boulders 8A and harder and she is #7 in the 8a ranking game.
