L'antagonista 8c onsight by Chaehyeon Seo (19)
Can you tell us more about the last onsight?

I just focused on it and thought that this is the last chance I was getting pumped even though I was resting, so I thought that this is the last chance that I can do the crux. I just grabbed the pocket hold and made a cross over to the bad sloper and I just barely made it.
