In visita al Gottardo, Mei Kotake realizza una eccezionale serie di velocissime salite.

Un inizio col botto, chiudendo nella stessa giornata "Hazel Grace (stand-start)" (video) e "Quiet Storm" (video), entrambi valutati 8B+.

"Quiet Storm (V14) and Hazel Grace (V14) in one afternoon, on my second day in Swiss.
Everything went better than expected.
I tried Hazel Grace last year before the area closed for the season, so I already knew the beta.
It was my first time trying Quite Storm, and it just suited me so well!(154cm)"

La ciliegina sulla torta è però la terza salita e prima salita femminile (FFA) di "P.I.G.", il suo primo 8C, aperto da Stefano Ghisolfi pochi mesi fa e ripetuto finora soltanto da Jorge Díaz-Rullo. Il tutto in sole quattro sessioni.

"P.I.G.(8C/V15) opened by @steghiso
And happy to climb after @jorge.diazrullo
So my style!!
I can’t believe everything that’s happened this past week.
This is my first time sending this grade, and I think it’s the hardest boulder I’ve ever done."

Il giorno successivo Mei si sposta a Magic Wood dove risolve in giornata "Tigris Sit" 8B+.

"Tigris sit (8B+/V14) after the day P.I.G.
Happy to send it in one session and so quickly.
Over 20 moves, lots of crimps ,just the kind of problem I like."
