La Morenita 8c+ by Martina Demmel (19)
"Overhanging slab after already getting destroyed in "Marroncita" 8b the first 30 meters without a proper rest to recover before hitting the extension! Unique one move wonder for me with a brutal but amazing shoulder move:) fell twice there not being pumped at all but just a little bit of body tension was missing what made me even happier to send it the next day, 4th try! The last missing piece to start trying my luck on "Joe-cita":)"
How can you explain being in your best shape ever and how is that feeling?
It's still hard to believe for me because it feels like I'm climbing the same way like a year ago but maybe this now is the result of trying lots of different styles over the past few years which helps me with finding my own perfect beta pretty fast😉 but that's just guessing who knows there are so many factors which are playing a part of that especially mentally🙈
