Natalia Grossman does two 8c+’s in RRG
What is coming up next?
I am currently just spending time with family and taking a break from training. A few weeks/months of no training and just climbing with friends for fun. I started doing this 3 years ago after my first IFSC season.
Natalia is mostly regarded as excelling at bouldering, has over the last three years won the World Cup and in 2021, she became the World Champion. Outdoors, she has sent well over 20 boulders 8A+ and beyond.
