Michaela Kiersch does Jack's broken heart (8A+)

Michaela Kiersch, who sent La Rambla (9a+) in January, reports with an Insta video that she has done Jack's broken heart (8A+) in Magic Wood. Here is the La Rambla interview with the 28-year-old doctor in hand therapy, who with also multiple 9a's and and boulders up to 8B+, is a contender for having the very best female outdoor ticklist. At the age of 15, she made her debut in the World Cup and was #22. The next year, she was #18 in a Lead World Cup.

Can you tell us more about the ascent of Jack's?
I tried Jack's last year and didnโ€™t have the power to do most of the moves. Iโ€™ve been training for this trip since I got back from Spain so Iโ€™m excited to see it is working!

How fast did you send it and how have you prepared for the trip?
Climbing on the boards! Less endurance training ๐Ÿ˜‰. One session, maybe 30/45 minutes. I think I did all the moves first or second try.

How long will you stay and what's next?
I will be in MW for a couple of weeks then back home ๐Ÿ˜. Youโ€™ll have to wait and see!! I have a list, per usual.
