Isabelle Faus ticks Freaks of the Industry (8B)

Isabelle Faus has done Freaks of the Industry (8B) in RMNP (CO). In total, the 31-year-old has now done more than 40 boulders 8B or harder, out of which some ten 8B+'.

Can you tell us more about the ascent on this very long boulder?
Haha, yup definitely very long! It took a good amount of work because I didnโ€™t have the endurance. But itโ€™s still quite a powerful boulder, so needed all the skills to send haha. Super fun!

How many sessions were needed? Any special power endurance training in the gym?
Haha, havenโ€™t trained in a gym since I was a teenager. I don't know how many sessions, maybe once a week since the start of sept .. also started classes and the transition was hard on me so I donโ€™t really think the amount of days means anything in this case.
