Laura Rogora ticks 9a and onsights 8b+โ
Laura Rogora, who started her one week trip to Oliana by onsighting an 8c, has redpointed
Papi Blau (9a) and onsighted Gorilas en la niebla (8b+),
China Crisis (8b+) and
Crimptonite (8b+). Laura mentions that the latter two share the same relatively easier start. Over the last year, only a handful of male climbers have an equally impressive onsight tick list. (c) crimp.films
Can you tell us more about the trip and the most memorable ascents ?
I was there for one week, six days of climbing. I had not specific plan in mind, just climbing and enjoying some rock. I tried Papichulo (9a+) a bit but already on the first day I got a really bad split on my finger which hurt a lot on the last crux so I decided to skip it and climbing Papiblau. Obviusly keeping climbing on it, it only got worse. I should have taken a few days off for attempt the full route but I wanted to climb so I enjoyed some easier routes. For sure the onsight of American Hustle (8c) was the most memorable.
