Edu Marin does WoGรผ 8c (+) MP

Edu Marin, one of the very best allround climbers, comes with the great news on Instagram that he has done the first repeat of Adam Ondra's WoGรผ 8c, 7c+, 8b+/c, 8b, 8b+, 8a+, 7c+, multi-pitch in Rรคtikon. Edu has previously said that he thinks the first pitch is 8c+. - Yesterday I achieved the first repetition of "WOGรœ" the Monster of the Alps!!! Eight years have passed since its first free ascent by Adam Ondra in July 2008. A nice and hard process in which I've been submerged for nearly two months. The conditions in August were not the best: rain, moisture, heat, etc ... Perseverance, constancy, humility and motivation are some of the keys to unlocking this amazing line opened by Beat Kammerlander in 1997 in honor of Wolfgang Gรผllich. Without you father this would not have been possible. Thank you for your patience and for calming the beast. Thanks Marc for your positive energy!! This is also yours!! Dream Team!!!
