Evolution - Anna Stöhr Climbs 8a+ Multi-Pitch

Anna Stöhr is one of the most accomplished competition climbers ever. With a total of four overall World Cup titles, two World Championships, two European Championships and 22 gold medals, very few climbers are even in the same ballpark. She's successfully transferred her skills onto rock with ascents of problems such as New Base Line (8B+) and Penrose Step (8B+). In 2018, after a fall while training, she sustained a back injury that ended her competition career.

Since then, Anna has been widening her skillset and after spending time on long, hard multi-pitches with Kilian Fischhuber, she set herself the goal of attempting a similar route. The film below follows Anna attempting Ali Baba (8 pitches, 250m, 8a+), but also adjusting to leaving the world of competition climbing behind.
