Compass North 8B+ by Marine Thevenet
Can you fill us in on this climb and your send?
I tried a few with Clément when it still was a project, but at that time I couldn’t figure out the crux (mostly due to a pulley injury). I came back in good shape after Rocklands and I focused on the end to be sure that, when I will pass the crux I will not fall! The reality was really different 😅 I fell quite a lot in the "easy part"!
After sending Zima Blue (8B) in august I tried it from the bottom! I did a lot of Moonboard to have contact strength, and some stamina on the Smartboard cause the boulder is a little bit long!
