16 Sep Nonaka: from 7c to 8c+!

Miho Nonaka climbs Mr Hyde, 8c+.

Miho Nonaka, one of the few climbers able to reach great results in wìevery climbing disciplines (great means world cup medalist), and moreover Olympic vice-champion, is finally climbing on the rocks. After the great performance in Olympics, she is taking a rest in Ceuse together with her boyfriend Sean Bailey. Thanks to her super fitness and her amazing climbing skills, she has been able to climb really quickly Mr Hyde, her first 8c+. Before it, her hardest route was around 7c! Crazy! Honestly, the swith to 9a could be really fast…

The route was freed back in 2015 by Quentin Chastagnier and it is thirty meters long. Thanks to its amazing rock and the unique moves, it is considered one of the best route of the famous French crag.
