Lilli Kiesgen does Le mur du son assis (8A+)

Lilli Kiesgen has done Le mur du son assis (8A+) in Fontainebleau. "Went down within an hour. Nice one. Relatively soft for the grade. Completely my style!"

Last month we reported that she had done quick work of two 8A+'s and actually more than half of the ten 8A's and beyond she sent last year, she did in one session.

Can you tell us more about Le mur?
We sent to Le Mur du Son (7C) the other day and I just wanted to take a look at Le Mur du Son (7C). Some people were there so I gave it some tries. I did all the moves easily but it was already dark and the top hold was wet, so I stopped.

I was hyped for the sit and tried it a couple of days later. The first two moves are not that hard and the third move is crux. Thereโ€™s a relatively high foot, two small crimps and you have to move into a small undercling crimp/ pinch. The last move is not too hard but low percentage. I think it suited me really well.

What about going for some harder lines, do you have your sights set on anything?
This trip was more about vacation than projecting. Iโ€™ll try some harder projects in the future for sure ๐Ÿ˜‡
