Martina Demmel sends six 8b+ or 8c in an Arco week

Martina Demmel has had a great week in Arco sending 30 routes out of which six 8b+ or 8c; Dedi fredi (8b+) , 5 Uve (8c), Elephant man (8b+), Warbeast (8c), Ghost Rider (8b+) and Super Maratona (8b+). (c) Basti Halenke

Can you tell us more about the trip and the most memborable ascents?
There are a few memorable sends from the last few days beause I often surprised myself with how much mental energy I had to keep on fighting when my body already wanted to let go. Especially in "5 uve", it was only possible with the support from my belayer & a lot of will-power. These quick sends now feel extra rewarding because I went through a lot of changes recently and I didn't even believe anymore that I can still push myself and be focused enough on the wall.

What is coming up next?
We're still here in Arco till Sunday but now it's raining non-stop, so we have to see what's dry the next few days⛈️... apart from that I've already decided to finish my comp-season earlier this year (in August) to prioritize my long-term health. Now, I'm feeling kinda recharged to start school & winter training again soon.
