Chri-su (8c) by Martina Demmel

Martina Demmel has done Chri-Su (8c) in Allgäu. The 21-year-old, has also onsighted eight routes 8a to 8b this summer, which makes her #1 in the 8a female ranking.

”Probably the route that I'm the proudest of yet/lately as it reflects my improvements in antistyles over the last 3 years (13 tries) what allowed some continuous progress. I haven't only struggled with the athletic start but also the resistance part higher up which threw me off once after finally connecting the start... Such an unforgettable moment, especially because of the fight all the way & epic condis during the send (huge thunderstorm around me)! Special thanks to Isi, Roland & Catrin for the memorable times at Rotti! Not finished yet here;)”

Can you tell us what a normal week for you looks like?
I don't have something like a normal week except for the months when I'm in school (from October - February): it's a special programme from the Bavarian police offered for professional athletes with police school from 7 am till 3 pm including 2 days when it finishes 2,5 hours earlier. So I would train (often with the national team members around Munich) for about 3-4 hours on Monday, Wednesday & Thursday + some strength & antagonist exercises two times a week in the morning. If the weather is good enough, the weekends are reserved for rock😊💃😁... the rest of the year varies a lot every week because it depends on the different phases I'm in😅😉.
