Marine Thevenet sends Tronic Summer (8B)

Marine Thevenet, with over 100 boulders 8A to 8B+ under her belt, has done Tronic summer (8B) in Sanetsch.

Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I went to the Sanetsch for the first time at the end of July with a friend of mine. She showed me this boulder, opened by Theo Chappex. It’s physically demanding, you need to keep a good tense for a long time and do some compression moves on crimps. The footholds are good, which makes it all possible! But it’s also tough for the skin so… no big sessions!

For the process… it is always the same :) on the first day I did all the moves. On the second day, my skin was trashed but my motivation was high so I tried to do some links. I came back alone 4 days later with the ambition to climb it in 2 parts. I quickly redid all the moves and made good links, so I started to think « why not?! Why I should wait until the next day with my friends to try it?! ». I switched my mindset and decided to try :)
