C'était pas assez tassé 8c by Amandine Loury
"C’était pas assez tassé is a connection and to sum up, you do all the hard section of « Illégitime engeance 8b/+», then a crux with a big move to the right and you finish in the pumpy section of Cétacé 8b+. I did some tries last year and I have finished the process this year. One day, after my sport teacher workday, I went to Saint léger. I had 2h30 before the night for climbing. So after two routes for warm-up, I did a try and I sent it. It took me about ten sessions in all."
What are your next plans?
In May I would like to try Mollasson 8c+/9a in Mollans. I hope to have opportunities to try it. For this summer, I do not really have a plan for the moment. I think return to La Roche Moutche for bouldering and climbing in the Hautes Alpes. I would like to try again San Kukai (8c+), but like Mollasson, I don’t know if I will have the opportunity to have a belayer in Entraygues 😅.
