Lukas Mayerhofer does the FA of Anam Cara Low (8C)
How much difficulty is added with the new low start and how much effort have you put in?
I would say around 7C or 7C+, it‘s not super hard but it adds quite a bit.
I actually did the original start back in 2020 and shortly after I figured out the lower moves but was too weak back then. Since then it was on my mind for some years and I tried it every now and then but I was hopeless. This year I came back with a better mindset and three sessions were enough to finish it!
