Nordic Plumber 8c by Mina Leslie-Wujastyk

Mina Leslie-Wujastyk has done Nordic Plumber 8a in Flatanger and her story is really great. (c) Esteban Lahoz The plan was to go bouldering for two weeks around Trondheim with her partner David Mason. Once realizing Flatanger was so close, she wanted to check it out and do some easier less steep routes but Maria Sandbu inspired her by doing Nordic Flower 8b+. In short, with rainy days that made David do his first sport route ever, Mina was full on the 50 meter super steep Nordic Plumber but no success. After returning back home for a wedding, another ten days Flatanger trip was booked and she sent it on her second last day. Video of the finishing rail.

Mina Leslie-Wujastykhas done her third 8A in 2009, Wenn Kuadrick Butter War in Zillertal. Mina says, "Trav cool moves. Soft?" Sometimes Traverses are graded softer but in this case it is likely not the case as there are three other 8A ascents in the data base of the boulder.

Mina Leslie-Wujastyk has done her seventh 8A during the last 12 months, The Arete With the Pocket in Chironico. "soft, really nice problem, kept falling off the end til now! :)", maybe due to fighting with temperatures around zero degrees for some weeks now in Chironico :-)

Ukclimbing has a nice interview with Mina Leslie-Wujastyk who has done four 8A's this winter.
