Interview with Nacho Sánchez

Last Friday, Nacho Sánchez sent his long awaited project in Crevillente, 'Crisis', grading it as an 8C/+. After two and a half years of efforts, he finished off this boulders 21 movements which in his blog he calls it a power-endurance problem. It's the hardest boulder in his career and also in Spain, and this murciano (from Murcia) has stuck his neck out suggesting such a grade in a time when the need to be brave and suggest more than 8C is being discussed. We've made the most of this opportunity to talk to him. Don't miss out his impressions on his last achievement. Pic© Ignacio Sandoval Burón with Nacho signing posters during the 2014 Gijón WCh.
