Muriel Sarkany (42) preliezla La Rubia 8c+

Muriel Sarkany, jedna z najlepších súťažných lezkýň histórie, preliezla 50 metrové vytrvalostné monštrum La Rubia 8c+ vo Villanueva del Rosario. Pred tromi rokmi vo veku 39 rokov vyliezla táto 153 cm vysoká belgičanka svoje prvé 9a, Punt X v Gorges du Loup. V období 1997 až 2004 stála Muriel na stupni víťazom päťkrát a zvyšné tri raz skončila druhá! (c) Julie Sprooten "Cestu som nacvičovala už v Apríli počas dvoch týždňov, až dokým kompletne nezatiekla a najbližšie som sa vrátila iba pred týždňom. Počas nasledujúceho mesiaca by som rada využila dobrú formu na prelezenie ďalších projektov, no uvidíme, aká bude predpoveď! V posledných dňoch tu dosť pršalo a bola zima, iba 7 stupňov. Po cca 35-40 minútach lezenia som mala pocit, že mi nohy zamrzli a vôbec som ich necítila. Bola to celkom brutalita."
