FIRST 8a+ ever achieved by a Romanian GIRL, Maria Stefania IONEL, from Transylvania, 15 October 2013

SUCARINA, a rout in Turzii Gorges (Romania) is now the First 8a+ ever achieved by a Romanian girl, a way towards the essence of true progress. The route was established in the 15 of October 2013. "SUCARINA c'est une putain de route. 8a+ ça c'est sur!" said ENZO ODDO doing this rout in 2013. "What I want to underline is that I didn’t choose the routes that are conveniently soft graded and I was not satisfied stopping when progress can still be made and this is what matters most" said Maria Stefania IONEL when establishing in 16 April 2013, a FA in Turzii Gorges, the rout COVILTIRU, 30 meters long, another FIRST Romanian FEMALE 8a/8a+ that she did. Both routs are in the same Cave, named "Hungarian Cave" in Turzii Gorges (the North-West of Romania, near Cluj-Napoca City) with a really overhang style. There are steel projects to be done, even from 8c+ and more other difficult routes to bolt.
