Martina Demmel sends La Cabane au Paradis (8c+) and onsights Gaucho (8b)

Martina Demmel, who was #26 in the Bern WCH, has done La Cabane au Paradis (8c+) in Rawyl. ” Battle against the heat with sweat running all over my face at the top but another good reminder what's possible when the mind is calm & peaceful! Fell in love with the resistency lower part what makes me curious to someday invest more time in "... au Canada". Quick progress resulted in an unexpected 4th try send with the best support by Chris & Leni!! Such a magic moment: we can't force/wait for it, we can only live & enjoy it!” (c) Chris Frick

The day after she onsighted her eleventh route 8b or harder, Gaucho (8b). ” Wooow I'm still shocked & in disbelief about onsighting this bouldery gem! Especially proud of sticking the jump at the top with only a little bit of hesitation;) amazing rock in the middle! Special thx to Chris for cheering me up all the way:)”

Are you 100 % recovered from your latest injury?
Regarding my broken wrist this winter, it's been 4 months now since I was allowed to climb again and I'm very relieved how well it was playing along the last months with almost no pain and consistent improvements😁📈! I'd say that I can do everything with it again but the strength level in the wrist and the whole arm isn't the same yet again and I've developed some kind of fear of getting injured again, so this was probably the hardest part to overcome😅.

What's next on your radar?
Now I'm getting back on plastic for the final preparations for the last 2 Lead WC's and then, it's already time to go back to school for the next 4 months🧚‍♀️🤓.
