Martina Demmel ticks another two 8c+’

Martina Demmel, who last week first did two 8c+’ in Santa Linya , has completed another two last weekend.

Open your mind (8c+): ”The curiosity was back to go "A muerte" in these athletic moves! Prime cold condis brought the friction on another level. The "nothing to loose" mindset on the wall let me commit enough, especially for its 3 big moves. After already surprising myself in my 2nd try, I remembered all my footholds what let me flow to the chains the next try including a little power-scream!!”

La Fabela (8c+): ”Several out of my comfort-zone moves and plenty of possible solutions for all hard sections... I've been 1-hanging it from the first day on, but kept on falling in the upper crux (6 times around the pinch)... finally my body was just executing the choreographie! Completing this classic makes me really proud:)) (what's a rare thing for me to say)!”

How can you best explain your super shape?
While I was in police school in fall & winter, I had about 3,5 months of only training inside, mainly for the lead comps. The weeks before coming here, I already felt like I could fight longer in lead routes but also my max strength improved, so I was glad that it reflected also in how I was feeling in the cave. It took about 10 days to adapt to the athletic style because my body felt really destroyed after the first days only climbing in steep terrain. To not force any send too much was another challenge on its own. Accepting to walk away without finishing my proj's brought me the necessary confidence and joy on the wall to start the send-train;)!
