Michaela Kiersch does Forever More (sit) 8A+
Can you tell us more about Forever More?
Forever More suited me really well - I fit in the box and I am feeling strong on crimps at the moment. Would have been a flash if I knew how to mantle!
How did you prepare for the flash attempt?
I didn’t prepare! I watched a YouTube video of the boulder and decided to try it. I always also give my best effort on flash attempts.
