Tereza Širůčková ticks two 8c’s

Tereza Širůčková has been on a trip to Osp/Misja Pec where she, among other routes, has done Strelovod (8c) and Corrida (8c). The 22-year-old started the World Cup season by being 14th and 16th and this summer she sent her second 8c+..

Can you tell us more about your trip to Osp?
After the World Championships, I was really looking forward to one thing – piece of rock! And after a long time, Osp was exactly what I needed. I was excited that there wouldn’t be icicles under the wall anymore and that I could finally enjoy some sunshine and comfy weather. (Though honestly, it was really warm for climbing – even for me – so I wouldn’t exactly call it “good conditions” 😅).

I went there with a clear goal in my mind: to finish some of my old projects. Routes I had tried years ago but never really worked properly — maybe I only had one attempt or never even figured out the moves. So I had three main lines on my list: Corrida, Kaj ti je Deklica? and Lahko noč Irena.

I kind of believed they could be possible, but I didn’t want to put too much pressure on myself. After all the stress from competitions, I just wanted to climb, enjoy the rock, and feel that freedom again.

On the first day, I quickly went through the moves on Corrida and managed to send it on the second go. Later that same day, I started working on Deklica, and even had a solid go — but I fell just before the top, completely tired. I finished the day by checking out the moves in Irena.

The next day was pretty special. I sent both Deklica and Irena quite fast and realized I had already achieved everything I came for. Since we only had half a day of climbing left for next day, I decided to try Marjetica. I still felt some power, so I gave it a try — and somehow sent it! I knew I wanted to come back the following weekend, so I spent the last half day preparing Strelovod — just figuring out the beginning and planning for the next session. But then I thought, “Okay, I’ll just give it one go.” And… it somehow happened. I clipped the chains. It was emotional, totally unexpected, and honestly, I couldn’t really believe it. It made me incredibly happy — and I have to say, I’m truly proud of my ticklist from this trip. ❤️

Possibly you could share a portrait picture if you do not have one from the route?
I’m not really sure how it’s supposed to look like, so I’ll send you more and you can choose and the last one will be the definition of the word “Portrait” 😆💅
