Battle Cat 8c makes Solveig Korherr #1 in the ranking game

Solveig Korherr has done her second 8c, Battle Cat in Frankenjura in just four tries over two days. Including also Cringer 8b+ second go, two weeks ago, the 20-year-old is the new ranking game #1. (c) Dorothea Karalus ”This iconic line in Franken has always been a dream of mine. I was surprised to find that it was so attainable after my first go up it. I guess all the hard hours of training are really paying off. I‘m going to Spain to Rodellar and Norway this summer. I will go to Flatanger and then Lofoten to try some trad climbing for the first time.”
