Pepa ล indel's Gรถtterwandl Rampage

Pepa ล indel has made a visit to Gรถtterwandl and among other things, the 18-year-old sent Juturna (9a), Fonax (8c+) and flashed Zeris (8c).

Can you tell us more about the trip and the most memorable ascents?
Gรถtterwandl is a magical place in Austria where I spend a lot of time, and until now I had only managed to send two routes there. On this trip, I wanted to change that, with the goal of sending as many hard routes as possible.

I started with Jaturna 9a, whose beginning I already knew super well because I had climbed it many times from the route to the left. At the top, there is a really specific boulder problem that I solved with a long jump to a jug. Right after that, I checked out Fonax 8c+, and I did it on my second go! I felt pretty good and thought I might even flash Zeris 8cโ€ฆ and I did! My bro Venca (who also sent Zeris 8c and Zeus 8b+ on this trip!) gave me really good beta, and it worked out. With a bit of margin as well. Next on the list was Athena 8c, which I wanted to onsight, but unfortunately I hit my hand with my knee on the first hard move. I immediately pulled back on and then climbed the route to the finish jug. Still did it second go, though. On the last day, I added a flash of Nofretete 8b+ and a second-go ascent of Zeus 8b+. Pretty successful trip, I would say!
