Three 8A's by Nolwen Berthier

Nolwen Berthier, who has not bouldered in the last two years, has during a seven days trip to Brione done three 8A's; Ponk (in a few tries), Disney Production (one session) and Fake Pamplemousse (two sessions). The 28-year-old is a former competition climber who has several times made it to the semi. She has previously done two 8c+ and a dozen 8c's.

Which was the hardest of the three boulders?
For me, this last one was a little bit harder because itโ€™s a little more physical. But Disney production really fits with my style so itโ€™s hard to say!

What is next?
For now, I will go back to Supercrackinette.
