Seventh 8C of which six between 2017 and 2018, 34 boulders of 8B+ and 98 of 8B… these are the numbers in the career of Christof Rauch,<\/strong> a climber worker with who few professionals can compete!<\/p>\n Two days ago another great exploit for the Austrian climber in the beautiful area of \u200b\u200bSustenpass<\/strong>: here he did the first repetition of Highlander,<\/strong> the connection of 8C that Martin Keller<\/strong> climbed after thirteen years of attempts!!!<\/p>\n Here are the words of Rauch about it:<\/p>\n “This was one of the craziest days I’ve ever had! At the beginning of the day I hurt my ankle pretty bad and couldn’t jump down on my feet. Since I felt really strong and the drive home is quite long for me I decided to still give the Highlander a few tries. Seems like low expectations are the key for me on this powerendurance-monsters! After a huge fight I managed to nab the second ascent of this masterpiece by Martin Keller. About the grade, I am not really sure, probably 8B+\/C?! At the end of the day I barely could walk back to the car and my foot was really swollen, later I went to the hospital and found out that I got lucky and my tendons are just strained quite bad.”<\/em><\/p>\n Meanwhile, in another summer area but across the ocean, the RMNP,<\/strong> Nina Williams<\/strong> climbed her second 8B, The Shining.<\/strong> Let’s remember that Nina is a woman who loves to climb high and different famous highballs saw her go up where many men do not dare …<\/p>\n About The Shining, here are her comments:<\/p>\n “One punt and four sessions later, on the eve of a full moon, it happened!! All before the snow landing turned into a lake! And my shoe didn’t fall off this time. A Cinderella ending”<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n News: 8a.nu<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Impressive numbers for the Austrian climber in the last two years Seventh 8C of which six between 2017 and 2018, 34 boulders of 8B+ and 98 of 8B… these…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":82396,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8066],"tags":[10847,9336,9335,8794,9213,9337],"class_list":["post-82394","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-boulder","tag-christof-rauch","tag-highlander","tag-martin-keller","tag-nina-williams","tag-rmnp","tag-sustenpass"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
