'Fish Eye', 8c by Andrea Cartas + Interview

Yesterday, during the after-lunch conversation we received a WhatsApp from Andrea Cartas saying that she was finally able to send her second 8c, after 'White Zombie' last Summer (vรญdeo and interview in Spanish), with Fish Eye in Oliana, and that at such moment she was just psyched to start watching Ondra's -later successful- try to 'La Dura Dura'. In her scorecard she comments: "Double send together with Adam, the best day with perfect conditions! I did it floating in the warm up!! Yeahhh!!" Later, she adds in Facebook: "Such a honour!! Sending my project (Fish Eye, 8c) and Adam sending the hardest route in the world straightaway! A day not to forget!!!" If you understand the Spanish language, fancy using Google translator and/or just want to enjoy beautiful pictures shot by Carlos Padilla, please have a look at the interview we have just had with her with nice comments about her and Adam's sends, etc.
