Manon Hily does Joe Blau (8c+)
Manon Hily, who last year sent both her first 9a as well as 9a+, has done Joe Blau (8c+) in Oliana. โSuper cool! Especially the second part on the black rock. Demanding route at the start and really sustained!!! Not easy.โ
The 31-year-old finished 13th at the World Championships last September, and her lowest placing across four World Cup events in 2025 was 12th. Two years earlier, she reached the podium in Brianรงon, and in 2022 the qualified nurse claimed bronze at the European Championships.
