Zangerl and Larcher do Zodiac 8b in Yosemite
Barbara Zangerl, one of the best female Boulderers some eight years ago, reports on Facebook that she has done the 600 meter and 16 pithes long Zodiac 8b together with Jacopo Larcher. (c) Jon Glassberg
"This was one of these days I never will forget!! Zodiac free...we invested nearly all the time we had here in Yosemite and finally all the hard work paid off. Both of us freed every single pitch and we both leaded all of the 5.12+ up to 5.13d pitches. Sooooo stoked!!!! I think we did the third ascent---first free climbed by the Huber brothers 2003 and right after repeated by Tommy Caldwell. Thanks for the inspiration! Every single pitch was amazing and we had a looooot of fun up there, the last 5 days."
Jacopo writes, "It felt pretty hard for the grade, as most of the hard pitches are really complex to climb, but they are all amazing. Most of them seemed impossible at the beginning, but with dedication and perseverance everything becomes possible."
