The German climber Martina Demmel scores her long-term project Heim nach Afrika (9a) in Kochel am See. The mega-diagonal, on which she worked for two years, is a combination of the existing three routes Baby Love (8b +), madness fat booty (8b +) and QL (8c).
In the lead discipline, Hannah Maul prevailed as one of the favorites in an absolutely bravura manner. In the men's category, Yannick Nagel caused a big surprise with his success. Because after the semifinals there was little doubt that Yannick Flohé would win. However, the extremely difficult and demanding final route threw a spanner in the works.
The southern neighbors Switzerland and Austria have already held their national championships. On October 1st and 2nd it will also be time in Germany: The German Championships in the Speed and Lead disciplines will take place in the Sparkassendome in Neu-Ulm. The competition can be followed in the live stream.
Martina Demmel is currently one of the strongest rock climbers, even though she only started climbing five years ago. Demmel was a guest on Actiontalk TV in April 2021 and Epic TV released a video about the German shooting star late last year.
She is 19 years young, only started climbing four years ago - and recently got her first 9a in just 5 attempts. Actiontalk TV invited the scene's shooting star to the BETA program and accompanied her on the Voralpsee.
