"I think it took me 7 sessions! I tried it for the first time at easter 2019! Not sure if there was only one key ๐ I believe that the last months I earned a lot of expรฉrience by trying harder boulders; I did a lot of moon board and smartboard training; and... I am on holidays so it is easier to climb when the conditions are good and when I am rested!"
In total, the #7 in the World Cup in 2014, has now done 56 boulders 8A and harder out which 14 only in 2020. The 31-year-old lawyer retired from the competition scene in 2016 being #19 in the World Championship.
