Emelie Gearhardt does Walk the Line (8A+)
Can you tell us more about this boulder problem?
I tried „walk the line“ many years ago for the first time but it felt really hard for me so I didn’t try it again. In January we‘ve been in Ticino for some days and I decided to give it another try after so many years. I was surprised because it felt pretty good and I was able to climb the stand start. So I was psyched to go back to Ticino to finish the sit start, and luckily [this trip] it went well!
