Alexander Huber (46) does 8c MP

Alexander Huber, one of the leading climbers during the mid 90ies and who later has been pushing standards in mountainering, multi-pitches and solo climbing, has done an 8c MP, Wetterbockwand. "Just last week I made a redpoint ascent of an alpine route next to my home, the "Wetterbockwand". 8 pitches, 8c and very wild as it is high up on a remote mountain. Just look the photo, it's taken from my house door." In sport climbing, Alex (46) still climbs up to 8c+ and it should be noted that the four 9a's he put up in the mid 90-ies have beside Adam Ondra only been repeated twice and all are subject of being upgraded. Alex last 9a, Orca from 2001, is still unrepeated.
