Michaela Kiersch sending in Rocklands with a broken pinky
Two weeks before going to Rocklands, in the best shape of her life, Michaela Kiersch broke her pinky while trail running. Despite the injury, she kicked off her trip with a flash of two 7C+ boulders and sent an 8Bโall using only three fingers on her left hand, as shown in photos on VL. Although we wanted to report this sooner, she asked us to wait until the trip concluded. In total, the doctor in hand therapy sent 15 boulders 8A to 8B+ during 13 climbing days.
