Eva Hammelmüller ticks Zagreus (8c/+)

Could you share more details about the ascent?
Zagreus (8c/+) was bolted and climbed earlier this year by Paul Zauner. The line starts in Fortuna (8b) and adds a powerful as well as technical boulder problem before arriving in the last crux of Hades (9a). Our intention of visiting frosty Götterwandl one more time this season was to film some sequences in Hades, but we had enough time, so I gave Zagreus another try. I never expected to climb this route so quickly, as I struggled quite a bit with the moves in the boulder problem the last time I tried it. However, after checking out the holds again, I managed to pull myself together and sent it the next go!
