La Rubia 8c+ by Andrea Cartas (37)

Andrea Cartas has done her second 8c+, at age 37, by doing La Rubia in Villanueva del Rosario. (c) Javi Pec How was the process taking it down? It was a long process; two springs and this autumn one month. The problem has been that I live 500km from the crag and I have to work and make short trips to try it. So finally in one month I really gave a few good tries. That was hard for the mind. I was really close past May but the heat came. Now, the first day of good conditions, the send happens! What was the key to send it? The perfect day, well-rested and free on my mind not about having to send, just I wanted a lot to climbing in good conditions. What is next? Just enjoy other cool lines at the crag, travel and climbing on sight and maybe try harder soon ;-)
