Heavy Charlie 8A by Patti Wohner (45)
Patti Wohner sending Heavy Charlie V11 from Patti Wohner on Vimeo.
Patti Wohner has done her first 8A for four years, Heavy Charlie in Tuolumne Meadows. As can be seen in the great video, it took the 45-year-old over two minutes including endless knee-bars to finish the 10+ meters roof. "I think I am in the best shape of my life right now and still believe I have not reached my potential. I've changed quite a few things about my lifestyle in the past year that has allowed me to increase my training volume. Some examples; I only work part of the year, I quit drinking alcohol and coffee, I eat more nutrient dense food, and spend crazy amounts of time on rehab exercises. I started out the year with a frozen shoulder which led to me becoming more aware of imbalances from climbing 20+ years. Now my training includes a lot of opposition work like deadlifts, pushups, overhead presses. My body is feeling better as I continue with balancing it out. I focus on projects outdoors and am very excited to see what's possible here in Bishop this season! I'm taking a bit of a recovery period then on to more projects. I'd like to be comfortable at the 8A grade so hopefully Bishop's best of the grade! Then we'll see from there. Staying injury-free is always so hard!"Jernej Kruder sends Martin Krpan (9a) sans knee pads
