Pepa Šindel, 16, sends Martin Krpan (9a)

Pepa Šindel, who at age 14 did his first 9a+, has sent Martin Krpan (9a) in Mišja Peč. "I spent the Christmas holidays in the Slovenian climbing area Mišja peč. I climbed the route Konec mira 8c/c+, which I had tried before. Two days later I climbed Martin Krpan, which is an extension of the Konec Mira. I climbed this extension on my 4th attempt and started the new year very well! I ended the short trip by climbing the endurance route, Karisma 8b+."

What are your plans for next year?
My plans for the 2024 season are to continue climbing 9a routes and maybe try some 9a+. Especially Hades 9a in Austria is a big challenge for me.
