Noé Looser, 16, does Nobody is Perfect (8c)
Can you tell us more about winning in Helsinki and your 8c ascent?
I am very happy about my competition season this year, I invested a lot of time in it. I was very happy to be back on the rock after my last international competition in Helsinki, and I was very motivated for rock climbing. The 8c route Nobody is perfect is a very nice endurance route with a boulder start. I liked this route very much and enjoyed climbing.
