Two 8c's in Oliana by Katherine Choong
Choong Katherine has done two 8c's in Oliana, Fish Eye and Mind Control, each of which took her four days of trying. The latter was originally an 8c+ but nowadays it is mostly considered an 8c, upon which also Katherine agrees. " I did it quite fast, when I solved the begining (the crux for me) I send it the same day. So maybe it's more 8c. But the style is really for me, no hard move juste endurance. However it was 50 meters of fight that ended with lot of happiness and good energy"
She finished off by onsighting Mon Dieu 8a+, also in Oliana. "I travel until end of march between France and Spain for rockclimbing. Then I come back in Switzerland for training and back to work (I finished university in January 2016 and started internship to become lawyer). I will compete most of the world cup I can."
