After the trip by car, bus and plane we arrived in Bulgaria for the European Youth Cup. I could top out the first qualification route and touched the tophold in the second. The final route was very hard. I found a no hands rest and finished first. Julia Chanourdie (FRA) was second and Andrea Pavlicova (CZE) third.
Loïc Timmermans (Belgium) finished 2nd in the male youth A category. It was a great competition with high summer temperatures. I liked the routes and I loved to meet all the girls of the other countries again.

3 weeks of rock climbing in Rodellar

I really like this area! We went climbing together with the family Cuypers.
I climbed my first 8b+, ‘Geminis’! It’s a fantastic route situated on the ‘Gran Bovéda’. I loved it very much!
I also did ‘Philippe Cuisinière’ 8b/+ and ‘El Chorreras (La belle inconnue)’ 8b/+. My friend Celine Cuypers (12 years old) climbed the beautiful route ‘El Delfín’ 7c+!

In Easter holidays we went climbing in France (Saint Léger du Ventoux). It was fantastic! The weather was very good. I could climb my first 8b (Abrège nief) in my 5th attempt. I also could climb Malaxe (8a/8a+) in my first attempt.

I really liked the competitions. I made so many new friends. I want to thank all the girls of my age category. There are so many girls who are very kind and such good friends.
