Two 8A's by Camilla Moroni
"It was a nice weekend spent in Bavona between training and competitions. Bavona Jungle is in my opinion 7C+... Probably the first move is easier if you are short like me. I managed to send also "Dreams are full of maybes" a nice crimpy line. Then I tried Heritage (8B+). I'm satisfied with my first session on it but probably it will be the last of this season because this weekend the temperatures were already high. I really hope to go back on it next fall to give it some proper tries!"
What are your comp plans for 2022 and how are your feeling before Meiringen?
I feel quite in shape for the WC season, but from the first WC stage, I don't expect anything because I feel good on the wall but maybe others climbers are much stronger than the last year. After testing the waters in Meiringen I will be more precise with my goals. This year I'm going to do all Boulder WCs and some Lead Wcs. My main goal is to be in shape during the European Championship which will be the first competition with the new Olympic format.
How do you like the new point-scoring format with two zones?
Before saying if I like the new format I should try it but I hope the style of the boulders does not change with the two zones🤞🏻
