Eliksir molodosty natoshak 8A+ (B) by Irina Kuzmenko
Irina Kuzmenko has done Eliksir molodosty natoshak which her boyfriend Vadim Timonov put up as an 8A+ in
Triangular lake. "In my opinion thatโs one more like 8B. Too hard for 8A+ but so nice one!" The Russian, who got the bronze in the Euro Championship in 2019, has previously done twelve boulders 8A to 8B.
"It took two very short and two quite long sessions. During the first two sessions, it was no chances to make one separate move and it felt like โhmmm what I am doing here, maybe I should try something differentโ. Then I came back again, did all the moves in 20 mins, and decided to rest for recovery. This boulder is crimpy and the hold is sharp and usually, you need two days to make skin good again. So after 2 days I just came back and did it very quickly! So happy :-)"
If you can do 8B so quickly, it should be possible to do at least 8B+?
I already did one session in an 8B+ and did all the moves in 40 mins ๐ so maybe youโre right!๐ฅฐ
