Deltaplane Man direct 8c+ by Martina Demmel
How is your broken foot and how do you combine outdoors and competitions?
Thanks for asking, my foot is all good again since March, so I was definitely lucky that I could climb without any limitations after three months already😁! Overall, my main focus shifted to preparing well for the lead comps the upcoming years especially because I'm gonna start an education with a special program for national team members of all sports. It's perfect to combine training and learning a job at the same time + to have a safe place where to work later😊 therefore, way less rock climbing in the next years but I'm still trying to fit in 1-2 days on the weekends🌞! But first, the last Lead WC's of the season are coming.
