She also redpointed Mind Control (8c+), flashed Humildes pas Casa (8b+) and redpointed Fish Eye (8c).She's been quite impressive for a few years now, but this is clearly a step up.

And of course T-1 full equipe. Tell us about this. Did you set off thinking you wanted to onsight it?Haha, yes, more or less. The plan was to try China Crisis (8b+) onsight. But then Aleksandra Taistra, who I luckily got to know at the crag, recommended I try T-1 full equipe instead since the quickdraws were already on it and she personally thought it was a much cooler line. I didn’t really consider the grade all too much, I just went for it.Just to put things into perspective, what was your hardest redpoint before onsighting T-1 Full equipe?My personal best was Mind control (8c+), just half an hour earlier. Before that I had redpointeded two 8b+, Scottlinjen and Breaking into heaven, both located in Stockholm, while my best onsight was the 8a+ Mordillo at Voralpsee in Switzerland.
