Sierra Madre 8C by Stefan Scherz
Could you say something about the ascent and what is next?
I’ve been trying Sierra Madre on & off for some time now. I never felt great about it but now I went there in nice condition and sent it on my first try from the start. Amazing 13 moves, power-endurance testpiece, and maybe the hardest one in the area of Innsbruck. My plans for the next months are to have a good time on the rock and try something hard, before the training for the new season starts.
