Caroline Minvielle climbs Cosi Fan Tutte (8c+)

Caroline Minvielle, with eight 8b+’ under her harness, skips 8c and does Cosi Fan Tutte (8c+) in Rodellar. Over the years, the 36-year-old has given onsight climbing a lot of focus and in total, she has onsighted some 50 routes 7c+ and beyond.

Can you tell us more about the ascent and what went into completing it?
I tried the route for 3 years and this season it went down in just 2 tries 🤯 I trained specifically for 2 months this year in order to achieve it and it seems the training payed off ! I am super happy and surprised of all the emotions I could experienced during the send. What a moment !

What about that successful training?
I worked with Andrea Cartas and we focused on finger strength, arm strength and core as well as climbing hard boulder with tiredness. Globally I was physically stronger than before and that helped me to handle the first boulder of the route. I kept my climbing continuity by climbing on routes, no specific training. Same for kneebar technique.
