Eva Hammelmรผller onsights Le sommelier (8a+)
Eva Hammelmรผller has onsighted Le sommelier (8a+) and redpointed her fourth 8c during the last two weeks,
Produit de la saume (8c), all in the Brianรงon region. โPhysical power endurance line (20 moves) on quite bad holds, far moves and delicate heel hooks. Really cool line which optically stands a bit in the shade of the other 8cโs, but feels just as good to climb!" (c) Felix Mast
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 didnโt hit it perfectly, and it was everything but a jug, so that was pretty close๐

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders.
