Janja Garnbret has climbed the Austrian test-piece B\u00fcgeleisen Sit V15 (8C) in Maltatal. As Garnbret noted after her send, this was the first female ascent of the problem. It’s also her first of the grade.<\/p>\n
“Two years have passed since I sent the stand start of the boulder and was just waiting for the right time to come back and get my revenge on the sit start,” she said. “Today was the day. Came back way stronger and moves felt a lot easier than they used to. Took me less than half an hour to get the moves dialed in and send the boulder. Proud to be the first woman to get this one done!”<\/p>\n
Nalle Hukkataival made the FA of the bloc in 2014 and its since seen repeats by Austrians Jakob Schubert and Nicolai U\u017enik, among others. Klem Loskot established the stand-start version of the problem way back in 2011, which clocks in at V14. At the time, it was one of the most difficult problems on the planet, with only Fred Nicole’s Dreamtime V15 being graded harder.<\/p>\n
Hukkataival said it was one of the “best hard boulders in the world” after his send. It follows a 50-degree wall for 12 to 15 moves. “Funny side note,” Garnbret said, “I wasn\u2019t happy with the video Roman took of my ascent, so I actually went for another go and climbed the whole thing again.”<\/p>\n
