Karo Sinnhuber ticks Prospettiva Nevski (8c)

Karoline Sinnhuber has during the last month sent Prospettiva Nevski (8c), Dedi fredi (8b+) and Terra Piatta (8b+) in Arco. The Austrian is a former competition boulderer who has done nine 8B’s. After dealing with golfer's elbow twice last year, she shifted her focus to routes, successfully sending her first four 8c climbs. (c) Mathias Gschwendtner

Can you tell us more about these ascents?
I spent pretty much all weekends last month in Arco and enjoyed the italian life in best conditions 😍 My ‚sendtrain‘ at Pizarra started when sending my - let‘s call it long-term-project - ‚Terra Piatta‘. Actually I didn‘t plan to climb on this weekend because I felt sick. When I realized, that it‘s quite fresh in the shade, I had no other choice than to climb and give it some tries.

The next weekend I checked out ‚Dedi Fredi‘, which has quite a different style compared to ‚Terra Piatta‘. Bigger holds, bigger moves and much sharper rock. Somehow I managed to find a tiny-move-beta for the upper crux which worked out quite well for me :)

As a logical consequence the next route had to be ‚Prospettiva Nevski‘, which shares the first crux with ‚Dedi Fredi‘ but then traverses to the left. The traverse and the whole end turned out to be super tense and with no real resting positions (for me).

The first day it felt quite impossible to climb it with my non existing endurance, but on the 2nd day I got faster in the movements, found some micro shakes and some new micro betas. YAY 🙌🏻
