Michaela Kiersch does Victimes del Passat R2 (8c+)
Over the last couple of years Kiersch has completed a dozen boulder problems 8B to 8B+, as well a dozen routes 8c+ to 9a+.
Can you tell us more about your current trip and the 8c+ you just sent?
It shares the start with Victimes del futur (9a) and it was helpful to already be familiar with the bottom moves, even though it really only shares about 2-3 draws. I fell maybe 2 days on R1 and then sent R2 the next day. There is a tricky match in a pocket with 2 monos which was super difficult for me. I ended up finding alternative beta with a crimp that was a bit harder but less precise and it made the difference! I’m finally settling into a routine here in Margalef after about 2 weeks. My skin is good and the sends are coming together. I’ll stay at least another week or so.
