Michaela Kiersch ticks After Hours (8B)
Can you tell us more about the quick send?
I left my house around 9:30 am just to have a nice solo day outside. I warmed up a little in my friend's garage, drove 2ish hours and found the boulder. It was my first time there and I gave a really good flash attempt, worked the moves (including a tricky top out), and then sent in a couple of hours. It was the perfect day out!
How does a normal training week look like?
Right now I’m trying to regain some power that got left behind in Margalef. I’m climbing 2 days on, one off! My hangboard workout will feel hard today after sending it yesterday - haha!
