Talk is Cheap 8c by Lucija Tarkuš (18)
How was the process taking it down?
Honestly I think it took me too many tries but less than ten sessions. I fell on the last hard move too many times and I'm happy that I could finally finish it.
What are your plans and goals for 2022?
My main goal will definitely be competitions but it would be nice to send some hard routes in rock too.
How much and how do you train?
Now it is preparation season so we train quite a lot in order to be ready when comps will start. We have a lot of team training and I love it. I train like 5-6 days/week and have 1 or 2 sesh/day. We have 1 or 2 team training a week. I'm in a sports class so it is a little bit easier to coordinate with training.
