Eva Hammelmüller onsights Le sommelier (8a+)
Can you tell us more about the onsight and how close you were to fall?
I was saving this 8a+ for an onsight for a few days, but somehow I always felt too tired after some attemps in harder routes to give it a try. Yesterday, I decided to give it a go even though I had already done quite some routes before. I was lucky to get nearly all sequences right and could fight my way up!
In the first crux, I could not find good footholds for one move, so I decided to jump for the next hold. I didn‘t hit it perfectly, and it was everything but a jug, so that was pretty close😅
