Nina Caprez does Yeah Man (8b+) MP

Nina Caprez, who became a mother less than one year ago, is known for being one of the best female multi-discipline climbers in the world. The 36-year-old has twice been Top-8 in the Boulder World Cup but she is most famous for all her hard multi-pitch ascents. Last week she did the 300-meter Yeah Man (8b+) in Gastlosen and her partner was her au pair Pauline Maheo. (c) Jeremy Bernard

"To be honest, it took me a bit of courage to go to the Gastlosen. I had done my first multipitch for a year in May with Lynn Hill, and I had a lot of troubles. So I asked myself if it was a good idea to take on this project. But in the end, my partner Jérémy pushed me a bit and I must say that it went extremely well. As soon as we arrived in Jaun I felt that I was in the right place. I loved taking the “lead” for this project, accompanied by my au pair Pauline, and supported by Lia and Jérémy on the ground in the van." Full interview in Fanatic Climbing
