8b+ trad again by Fabian Buhl

Fabian Buhl has done his second 8b+ trad route, Psychogramm in Bürser Platte which was the first repeat of Alex Luger's new test piece. Last year, Fabian did the neighbouring Prinzip Hoffnung and later an 8b+ and 8c+, Nirwana, multi-pitches. Until 2013, his focus was bouldering where he has done eleven 8B+ and also Dreamtime 8C, but due to two an ankle fracture he started climbing also with a rope until he could jump down hard again. From his blog, we can read that he wants to continue with this diversiefied focus in climbing. "For January my main goal was to focus on training upper bodypower and try to prepare myself for the good bouldering conditions and also for the upcoming multipitch projects. For me as a rock climber it is hard to sacrifice time only to train on wood or plastic. Therefore I decided to go slab climbing..." (c) Jacobo Larcher
