Austrian climber Barbara Zangerl is no stranger to breaking records in women's climbing. In 2008, she became the first female to boulder 8B (Pura Vida) and has since made the first female ascent of the “Alpine Trilogy” (Kaisers neue Kleider, Silbergeier, End of Silence) and the notorious trad route “Prinzip Hoffnung” E9/10, 8b, along with sport climbs up to 8c/+.

In this video by Black Diamond, Barbara talks about returning to Spain to escape the routine of daily life. After a training period on plastic, she feels ready to take on some new challenges on rock...
