On March 14, 2008, Josune Bereziartu and her husband Rikar Otegui — both known almost exclusively for their sport climbing achievements—put up a seven-pitch alpine scarefest on the north face of Pena Telera (2764m) in the Spanish Pyrenees. Their new line, Frenesi (Frenzy: ED+: III/IV M6/7 R, 450m), they climbed onsight and ground up over seven hours, placing only natural protection.

"My alpine experience has been very short because I mostly sport climb, but in the past two years I've been gradually seduced by alpinism," Bereziartu said. "Frenzy was the first alpine route that I opened, so it gave me perspective on what's mentally and physically difficult for me. This route was hard for me, especially because many of the placements were pretty poor, which didn't give me much confidence."
