Solveig Korherr does Escalatamasters 9a (8c+)

Solveig Korherr has sent Esclatamasters (9a) in Perles & Canelles. ” Probably one of the best lines I have climbed on limestone so far! Having two completely different climbing styles combined in one route on such high-quality rock makes it very unique. Grade-wise, it felt more on the 8c+ side to me. 8 tries over five days. Thanks Dan for sharing all the beta and kneebar wizardry, and the sending belay! It’s a lot of beta to remember ^^” (c) Emile Pino

Over the last two weeks, the 25-year-old has also redpointed two 8c's and onsighted Humildes pa Casa (8b+) and she comments on Instagram. "It feels so surreal at the moment that I must be in one of the best shapes of my life. I guess, I’ve been adapting very well to the rock in recent weeks, and my psych seems endless right now🔥"
