Sofa Surfer 8A (+) by Lilli Kiesgen

27 August 2022

Lilli Kiesgen has done Sofa Surfer 8A (+) in Magic Wood. "Our trip was only eight days long and we had two rainy days. On this trip, I was motivated to try hard stuff for the first time. I checked out many different boulders. On Sofa Surfer the single moves felt doable in my first session. I came back two days later and it went down pretty fast☺️ I think the style and the moves suited me very well."
