Martina Demmel (18) #2 in the onsight ranking game

Martina Demmel, who started climbing in 2017 and within 15 months had onsighted her first 7c, has during the last three weeks done seven routes 8a+ to 8b+ second go or onsight. Her grade pyramid has a solid base on onsights up to 8b (and flashes in bouldering) so it is just a matter of time until she will push harder also in redpoint. In the 8a ranking game, the former skiracer is #2 in the onsight ranking game. An interview is coming up. On the pic by Ed Ru the 18-year-old is onsighting Meconi in Margalef. "The best tufa line I've ever done! Stemming, cuddling, battling, pinching and dancing around these two tufas;) kinda strange but a must-do!"
