Pepa Šindel (17) does 9a and 8c+ in Leonidio

Pepa Šindel, who did his first 9a at age 15, has done Capricorn (8c+) and Nid De Fadas (9a) in Leonidio.

Can you tell us more about the trip?
I flew to Leonidio with my brother Venca for a week and my main goal was Capricorn. However, I managed to send it on the first day on the third attempt. I felt quite strong so I started looking for something harder. I was recommended the route Nid de Fadas in the Nifada sector. Right after the first go, I started to get obsessed with it as how nice it was. The beginning is very overhanging with long moves on on good holds and pockets, then there is a kneebar in which you can't rest too much, but you can concentrate on the following CRUX, which is surprisingly a Frankenjura style boulder on one and two finger pockets. In the middle of the boulder, there is a bad clipping and a risk of a groundfall, so I had to extend the quickdraw twice. The second half of the boulder are long pumpy moves on small crimps. After that comes a nohand kneebar rest and an overhanging finnish on nice jugs. You just have to watch out that you dont get pumped too much. The last disturbing part were the last two meters where the holds were wet. According to my information, this is the second repetition.
