Combifetis 8c by Solveig Korherr
Solveig Korherr, who last November did her first two 8c+' in Red River Gorge, has done Combifetis 8c in Margalef. In the 8a ranking game she is #1. (c) Jon Shen
"I was not sure if the pocket style here would fit me but I quickly found out that it did play to my strengths as there are many intermediate holds and foot options here. I had a rather successful first week. I managed to dispatch Via del Quim (8b+) in a single day and Aitzol (8b+) in two days, as well as make several other 8a+ and 8a onsights. I then set my goal on finding an 8c/+ project. This happened to be Combifetis, which consists of about 20 moves of very sustained climbing on small holds without a rest. It feels like the most difficult 8c that I have done.
As for the rest of 2020, we still have about three weeks in Spain. I am generally looking to consolidate the 8c and 8c+ grade in different styles and rock types as I have only done a handful of them."

โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs 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.
