Andrine Skilbrei redpoints The Troll Hammer (8c)
Andrine Skilbrei, who this spring did her first 8c+, has sent The Troll Hammer (8c) in Flatanger. (c) Andrea Cossu
"Iโve not been climbing much lately as I am working on my masterโs, so I was a bit surprised I was in the shape to do it in what little time I actually spent in the cave climbing. Because of my limited time to climb I choose this route mostly to have something to get in shape on as I have done the first part Dvergtrollet (8a+) a couple of years back, and Iโve also been up in the upper part a couple of times before and really liked the climbing up there.
In the end it turned out quite well for me, I felt little pressure and just enjoyed getting out of the house and climbing a bit, not really caring too much if I sent or not. Not to say I wasn't really happy when I did it!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.
