Amandine Loury does L'รฉtrave (8c)
Amandine Loury, who earlier in 2024 did her second 8c+, has done L'รฉtrave (8c) in Saint Lรฉger and Rest in beast (8b+) in Buoux. In the VL ranking game, the 34-year-old is #4.
Can you tell us more about the 8c?
Lโรฉtrave is a very beautiful and various line in Praniania sector. Itโs the direct start of La Trav vers lโรฉtrave 8b+ that I send in 2020. The start of L'รฉtrave is very powerfull with long moves and hooks. Just after there is a beautiful pumpy section before a good rest and to finish there is a hard and mental section with crimp on a vertical wall. So I was happy to not fall in this last part, because I was not sure to send again the start.
