Martina Demmel ticks One Piece (8c)

Martina Demmel, #43 in the Villars World Cup yesterday, has last week sent One Piece (8c) in Frankenjura. "Totally enjoyed the crux sequence on this one which demanded a lot of tension & precision! 2 more tries after "Akira"! Felt like a very first of its grade;) now after my recent injury."

How did you break your wrist and how long time ago did you remove the cast?
2,5 months ago now😉. I was falling pretty high up and there was a lot of rope-drag why I hit the wall pretty hard (probably I was belayed a bit too hard as well) and it took 20 days to find out that it's broken and in total 4 months without using this hand at all, so I'm pretty surprised and relieved how well I can move on the wall already again😁💃📈

What are your summer plans?
I'm already nominated for the next 2 WC's in Chamonix and Briançon and then I hope to be able to go World Champs in early August but this depends on how the comps are going now... after that I'm planning to go to Switzerland and France (probably La Ramirole and a few other crags I wanted to check out for years already😁) for a few weeks of rock before the next comps and before police school starts again🌞🏔💃
