Sasha DiGulian does FFA of Magic Mushroom at the Eiger North Face

Sasha Digulianreports on Facebook that she has, together with Carlo Traversi, done the Magic Mushroom of Eiger North Face that finishes up at 3 219 meters after 21 pitches up to 7c+. (c) Carlo Denali "I've never tried harder on anything in my life. I am wrecked and can't believe it's real. 4 days 3 nights and the dream is complete! We did it!" DiGiulian and Traversi had spent three weeks projecting Paciencia (23 pitches, 8a) also on the Eiger North Face. However, continuous poor weather made them switch route and after just a quick rappel check-up of the Magic Mushroom on the 27th, they succeeded at their first attempt. Sasha had previously told 8a that she had to go back to school in the end of August so it was just one of these "final day, final go". For several years, Sasha has been one of the best female climbers in all disciplines, including competition climbing, where she was #2 respectively #8 in the Boulder and Lead World Championships in Arco 2009, being 18 years old.

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders. Outdoor bouldering isโ€ฆ
