Specialistes Direct 8c, Verdon, France

Macumba Club 8c, Orgon, France

I almost did it on my fourth day, but fell high, and then had to go back home for work. When I returned I did it easily… you know, you assimilate the moves, you rest and recover well for a few days, and super-high motivation deas the rest.

Ocho años de sexo 8b+/c, Subijana

BOULDERS 
Travesía de Baltzola 8B+/C (traverse), Baltzlola, Basque Country, Spain 

It’s super physical with very long and dynamic moves. For the past three years I’ve been bouldering and focusing on power. It has raised my phisical confidence. I just kept going back to the route until I was ready physically to climb it.

2001

RED POINT
Noia 8c+, Adonno, Italy, first really hard ascent outside Spain

Noia was a special challenge, not just to climb another 8c+, but to climb one that was far from my usual cliffs and in a restricted amount of time. Once the project was defined everything was simple. I planned my training so that I was in peak shape when I went to Italy. I was very motivated as well, and this makes me feel even stronger!
