Janja Garnbret from Slovenia and Laura Rogora from Italy are in top form. Both climb 8c onsight. Rogora several times.
The young Italian secured four hard onsight ascents and a 9a route during her week-long stay in Spain. It all started with the onsight ascent of the 8c route American HustleOnly three women have managed to climb onsight at this level: Janja Garnbret, Laura Rogora and Chaehyun Seo.
While many would say goodbye to their well-deserved rest days with such a result or would devote themselves to more leisurely climbing, Rogora a few more times on top.
The ascent of American Hustle was followed by onsight ascents of the three 8b+ routes Gorillas in the Mist, China Crisis and Crimptonite, although Rogora used the first two bolts of the last two routes a few years ago when climbing another route, so she already knew this section.
My short trip is over. A bit of rock climbing between training sessions was great, even if the weather wasn't great. But Oliana never disappoints with its fantastic routes, amazing scenery and great people.
Laura Rogora
The motivation increased and Rogora scored the 9a route Daddy Blue, climbed a combination of Papichulo and Joe Blau and the trip with Gran Chulo (8c) and Gran Blau (8b+).
Garnbret with third 8c onsight ascent of her career
One day after the presentation of her ticklist, Janja Garnbret. She made a detour to the climbing area Misja Pec in her home country of Slovenia. There she climbed with Popolni mrk 8c onsight for the third time in her career.
Lots of rock climbing! Today was perfect conditions and I was able to onsight my third 8c route. I am especially proud because I consider Popolni mrk to be my most difficult 8c onsight.
