Michaela Kiersch does Victimes del Futur (9a)
“I tried Futur for the first time the same day I sent zipayorik ez!! (8c). It was one try just to check out the moves — I did them all fairly quickly so I added it to my list! I had 5 climbing days left and wanted to try and manage this one and also try Coma Sant Pere (8c+). Luckily CSP went down quickly because turns out I needed a few extra days on Futur to solidify my beta in the crux which kept changing with conditions. In the end it took 5 days and I sent on my 4th try of my final day in Margalef — pretty magical!”
