Hulk extension 8c by Iziar Martinez (15)

Iziar Martinez, who did her first 8c three weeks ago, has done her second, Hulk extension in Rodellar after five days of projecting. Last week, she also did Geminis 8b+ in just two days. Until one month ago, the personal best for the 15-year-old was one 8b.

"I did Hulk 8b+, because I wanted to do something that was not my style. I did it fast so I decided to try the extension 8c. But first I did Gรฉminis 8b+ that motivated me a lot. Know I want to find other rout that motivates me."

She has spent six weeks in Rodellar together with her parents who both have been active climbers and her father runs a boulder gym. Last year, she was Spanish youth champion in Boulder and #2 in Lead. "I love comps, they motivated me a lot. I compete in nationals and this year the plan was to do international comps.".

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders. Outdoor bouldering isโ€ฆ
