Naรฏlรฉ Meignan (12) does Florida 8c (b+) in Rodellar
Naile Meignan, the youngest of five siblings, has done Florida 8c (b+) and shares her story.
- After having done Inexia 8b+ in Rodellar in 2014, I wanted to try Florida 8c. This is a great route divided into two parts. A section of about twenty meters on small tufa with two hard movement in a good slope and then exit with a big boulder on small crimps, a little reachy for me.
I tried it at the end of last summer's training camp with my club but I had to return with a huge disappointment. Anyhow, I knew inside that I could climb. During the first part of the school last year, I wanted to forget about it, too much disappointment. Then gradually the project was resumed and the middle of spring, after the return of climbing outdoors, I was again fully motivated. Then I had to negotiate with my parents to return to Rodellar despite family plans was elsewhere so only my mother and my sister could join me.
After some calibration runs because I got taller and then just one try per day falling just below the chain and then bang, I did it. It makes me really great pleasure, a project about a year with ups and downs, doubts... but in the end it really is too good. My most beautiful route ever.
