Melissa Le Nevé scores 8c + Route Bionic Commando on the Jesuswand

The top French climber Mélissa Le Nevé successfully climbs the Route Bionic Commando in the Bavarian climbing area Jesuswand.

The Bionic Commando route set up by Christian Bindhammer is steep and requires endurance. Melissa only invested nine days until the 8c + got through.

I am super happy to have dotted this most beautiful and logical line on the Jesus wall.

Melissa Le Nevé is one of the strongest women in the world. She was the first female climber to climb one 8b + Boulders in the French bouldering area Fontainebleau. In the sport climbing area she already has 8c + routes like 50 Words for Pump and Southern Smoke in Red River Gorge or Wall Street (8c) in the Franconian Jura

It is therefore only a matter of time before Melissa climbs into the circle of 9a women.
