Martina Demmel does Least Resistance (8c) 2nd go

Martina Demmel has had two great days in Schleier Wasserfall, sending two hard classical routes, out of which, Least Resistance (8c), second go. "Perfect dry grip today, the beta-support by the crew & a free mindset let me battle up this gem within 2 tries!! Totally loved the far shoulder move with its high feet:) but for the athletic midpart, I had to unleash some proper 'try hard'! Danke Simon fรผrs Seil halten und Felix fรผr de Send-Buidl:) more on Insta!" (c) Felix Bub

The following day she did, Wassermusik 8b+ (c). "Die ALLERBESTE! No words for how much this kingline means to me regarding several aspects but mainly because I broke my wrist in it last December... I kept visualising the details the whole year but to finish it 2nd try today by dominating most of the bouldery parts felt surreal!! While lowering I was far away from reality by enjoying the stunning view with its fall light... thank you Vera for the final belay! Danke an de ganze Schleier-family, dass ma si da oben so wohlfรผhlt:)) and I couldn't use the knee-bar due to my short leg, so I would go with the "c"... 8 tries in total."

What are your winter plans?
The phase of the year when it's mainly about police school and training (first 2 weeks of season break now) still continues till the end of January๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ‹โ€โ™€๏ธ but then I'm already planning to go back to Catalunya for a month with a few friends๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’ƒ...

In 2021, Martina became the first-ever female to have won the 8a annual onsight ranking game. In total, she onsighted 18 routes 8a+ and harder that year. Amazingly, in 2019 she did her first 7c onsight when she had only climbed for 1.5 years.
