Michaela Kiersch does two 8A+โ
Michaela Kiersch, who moved to Innsbruck two months ago to climb full time, has sent Walk The Line (8A+) and Rabbit seduto (8A) in Chironico and I Portici (8A+) in Osogna.
How many sessions were needed for those two 8A+โ?
I did Portici in about 20 mins as it really suited my style โ crimps and heel hooks. Walk the line took 2 sessions โ the first one I worked out the bottom sequence but because it was raining I didnโt do the top out. It went quickly in the second session with dry conditions!
What is next?
I have a few big projects like Arrival of the Birds (9a) and Forgotten Gem (8C) but I love climbing all the classics of an area, especially 8A-8B.

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
