Alex Puccio back at Magic Wood: Riverbed (8b) - Check!

Alex Puccio is back in the Magic Wood and climbs the classic Riverbed (8b).

Almost two weeks ago, the American powerhouse succeeded Alex Puccio with New Base Line (8b +) already a hard ascent in the Averstal. In between, Alex drove to Stuttgart and won the gold medal at the Adidas Rockstars competition (LACRUX reported). For a few days she is now back in the Grisons and in the currently perfect conditions, apparently very successful.
