8c+ endurance monsters in Flatanger to sharp 8A flash in Rocklands

David Firnenburg, who just spent some great weeks in Flatanger fighting down two 8c+ endurance monsters, started out his Rocklands trip by flashing the sharp and powerful Green Mamba 8A. In a time when structured training is getting more popular, it is interesting to see that some youngsters can perform at the highest level in two disciplines at the same time. The 20 year old German is #2 in the Combined 8a ranking game. In the picture by Eddie Fowke, David does New Base Line 8B+ in Magic Woods a few weeks before going to Flatanger.
