Taijutsu 8A+ by Emilie Gerhardt

Emilie Gerhardt, who last year completed roughly ten boulders 8A and harder, reports on Insta that she has done Taijutsu (8A+) in Valle Bavona. (c) Julius Westphal

Can you tell us more about the trip and the 8A+ ascent?
Unfortunately, we only had four climbing days in total. Here are so many good-looking lines, so it’s hard to choose which one I‘d like to try first :)“Taijutsu” sums up my style quite well as I like steep boulders with many moves. After checking out all the moves I sent it directly.
