Pure Imagination 8c+ by Matilda Sรถderlund
Matilda Sรถderlund reports on Insta that she has done Pure Imaginaation 8c+ in Red River Gorge. Andy Wickstrom
In 2012, Matilda was #6 in the World Championship and later she focused on getting a Master degree in Business Administration. This year she is back with four routes 8c and harder.
โSo, so happy that I managed to keep it together and send it on the very last day! I was very close about a week earlier and then it got super cold (too cold for me to be able to climb on the crimps of Pure Imagination haha). Then we got one day with perfect conditions and I was able to send it I learnt a lot and enjoyed the process of projecting and all of the mental challenges & mind games that it includes.
Pure Imagination is an amazing line (bolted by Kenny Baker), a lot of nice crimps and fun sequences. Canโt wait to come back to the Red for more climbing!โ
