The Meignan sibblings set a new family standard

Hugo Meignan has done Cosi fan tutti, 8c+ in Rodellar and he says it can even be 9a. "A tuffa broke about a month ago, adding a crux 3 fourth of the way up, instead of a rest. I think I must be the first to complete the route as it is now. The route is much harder than anything I've climbed before. It is a splendid 55 metre line with 2 cruxes. It took me 15 attempts." Thoma (16) has onsighted two 8a+, Las dos golondrinas de la piscineta and Paideia. Naรฏlรฉ (9) has after having done three 8a's the last ten days, done her first 8b, Espirit Rebeld and she did it in only five tries. Their father Lucas: "Since they were small, we initiated our five children to mountain sports. Their inspiration and that climbing can be practiced intensively and safely at an early age, led us to focus on this sport while continuing occasionally with other mountain sports."
