Mind Control 8c (+) very fast by Mina Markovic

Mina Markovic is having her best week on rock of her life and yesterday she did Mind Control 8c (+) in Oliana. "It was waaay faster than I expected. Yesterday I checked up the moves and today I did it on 2nd try of the day." Mind Control was put up by Chris Sharma and with 21 ascents the last three years it is the most repeated 8c and harder in the 8a database and also the one with the highest star rating. The great picture is from Luka Fonda who has made some kind of 8a record with four published pictures in just five days. Luka has promised us to give his story and how a normal working day at the crag looks like as soon as all the editing is done.
