Martina Demmel does Least Resistance (8c) 2nd go
The following day she did, Wassermusik 8b+ (c). "Die ALLERBESTE! No words for how much this kingline means to me regarding several aspects but mainly because I broke my wrist in it last December... I kept visualising the details the whole year but to finish it 2nd try today by dominating most of the bouldery parts felt surreal!! While lowering I was far away from reality by enjoying the stunning view with its fall light... thank you Vera for the final belay! Danke an de ganze Schleier-family, dass ma si da oben so wohlfühlt:)) and I couldn't use the knee-bar due to my short leg, so I would go with the "c"... 8 tries in total."
What are your winter plans?
The phase of the year when it's mainly about police school and training (first 2 weeks of season break now) still continues till the end of January📚🏋♀️ but then I'm already planning to go back to Catalunya for a month with a few friends😁💃...
In 2021, Martina became the first-ever female to have won the 8a annual onsight ranking game. In total, she onsighted 18 routes 8a+ and harder that year. Amazingly, in 2019 she did her first 7c onsight when she had only climbed for 1.5 years.
