Marine Thevenet does Delusion of Grandeur (8A+)
Marine Thevenet, who has already completed around 90 boulders 8A and harder, has done the Dave Graham classic Delusion of grandeur (8A+) in Chironico, Insta video. The lawyer is due to stop working soon, so there might be even more headlining ascents in her near future.
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I tried the boulder last year a little bit but at that time I couldnโt find a doable sequence for the start; I am too short for the ยซ standard beta ยป and couldnโt keep the heel hook for the big undercling move. I am really happy to be able to find another sรฉquence and when I did this sรฉquence, I did thรฉ boulder ๐
