Idรฉe fixe 8c by Solveig Korherr

Solveig Korherr has done her tenth 8c the last twelve months, Idรฉe fixe in La Saume. In the 8a ranking game, the 23-year-old is #2. (c) Jon Shen

"Idรฉe fixe was a great power endurance test piece on some tiny crimps and side pulls. Since I knew the upper part of this route already from an 8b that linked into it, I was psyched to just have a look at the rest of the line. The middle crux felt like it could fit me but it was still very hard. I wasnโ€™t sure if I still had enough power endurance to link the hard section after having done more volume climbing and multi-pitching in the last few weeks. But after some beta refinement and perseverance, I was super happy to make a few good tries and finally being able to climb all the way up to the top! In the end, it took me five days."
