Solveig Korherr ticks Rêve de poutre (8c)
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I spontaneously decided to try “Rêve de poutre” (8c) on a short trip to St Léger because it was one of the few routes that were dry at the beginning, and it seemed like one that could suit me. It has an easier start into the upper part of ‘Cadafist’ (9a/+), which is quite powerful on small crimps. Four hard quite basic board moves, and then some power-endurance to the top. Very fun!
What is next? Start projecting Cadafist?
Maybe one to try for the future. I will go back home and perhaps do some shorter bouldering trips to Ticino in between some work & training.
