boulderingNews Switzerland

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.
