Taistra does 8b+ and her trainee Nina does first 8c

Alexandra Taistra has done Humildes Pa Casa 8b+ in Oliana. "I didn't really plan to climb it, but I arrived in Oliana quite tired and not feeling fit. This route is pumpy and knacky, and seemed like a good training ground. It can also be a bit scary! The temps were high but I was trying it regardless just to regain my fitness. It might be back now, haha."

As soon as the conditions improved and Aleks sent Humildes Pa Casa, Nina managed her first 8c, Fish Eye, previously also climbed by Taistra. Now with colder temps they are planning on trying more hard projects.
