Michaela Kiersch does The Dagger 8B (+)

Michaela Kiersch, who two weeks ago completed Dreamtime (8C), has done La Pelle 8A/+ and The Dagger (8B+) in Cresciano. The Doctor in hand therapy broke her pinky in July. Since then, she has done some 20 boulders 8A and beyond. (c) Kevin McNally

Can you tell us more about The Dagger and what about the 8C sit start?
This boulder was extremely hard for me — my complete anti style. It took everything in my body to stay on and I think I held my breath the whole time. I’ll be sore for days. I couldn’t do the moves on my first trip here 2 years ago so it’s cool to come back and send it. I'd love to try the sit!
