Petr Resch Jr (9) does 8A+

Petr Resch, the godfather of the Padání boulder festival and Pethrohrad, where he has put up 5 000 boulders up to 8C the last 14 years, gives us the great story of his nine year old son Petr Jr, who has done his first 8A+, Mozek na citrón. The new Chech Republic wonder kid is the youngest to have reached 8A+ in the world and he has previously done a 7C+ boulder and 8a with a rope. We are a climbing family. Petr Jr started to climb maybe when he was 3 years old but it is only the last two years he really climbs and trains. Our focus is just having fun instead of performing and last autumn we were one week in Font where he did 100 boulders during a week.
