Stefano Ghisolfi gets the Highpoint on the Project
Stefano Ghisolfi got the highpoint on the Project as a nice birthday present and in fact he could be called superior. In reality, the show and route could have been better as we did not see too much fight as it starts very easy in comparison to World Cup routes. Furthermore, the limited rest and possibly also the fact that conditions got worse due to the crowd, which warmed the place, made the second attempt mainly worse. The climber who has the highpoint each year Will get 1 000 euro. If you manage to top out, you get 5 000 euro. It seems impossible even if Adam Ondra will try later this spring.

Stefano Ghisolfi nyomta a legjobbat a  Projectre
Stefano Ghisolfi mรกszott a legtovรกbb a Stockholmi Projekten a megnyitรณ gรกlaestjรฉn. Igazรกn szรฉp szรผlinapi ajรกndรฉk (plรกne ha a borรญtรฉkot is megkapja mellรฉ), az Olasz rekord tehรกt felรกllรญtva. Volt mรฉg pรกr nagyobb nรฉv, mint Jorg Verhoeven, Magnus Midtbo, a jรณ รถreg Nalle รฉs a hรถlgyektล‘l a fiatal Kajsa Rosรฉn. A show azรฉrt nem รผtรถtte meg a vilรกgkupa szรญnvonalat, mivel egy nagyon kรถnnyลฑ รบton kezdtek a mรกszรณk, de ez a kรถnnyลฑ รบt รญgy is a fรผggล‘legesig 8a, ott egy szรฉp nagy ugrรกs, majd jรถhet a 8A+/B plafonboulder, ami pihenล‘ nรฉlkรผl belevezet az egyre nehezedล‘ vรฉgsล‘ kiszรกllรณ 8C boulderbe. A laikusok mรกr 10a-t emlegetnek... Kรฉt prรณbรกbรณl kellett a legjobbat kihozni a megnyitรณn, talรกn a tรถmeg miatti egyre melegedล‘ terem รฉs kevรฉs pihenล‘idล‘ is rรกsegรญtett, hogy elsล‘re mindenki jobbat mรกsszon. ร‰vrล‘l รฉvre aki a legjobbat teljesรญti majd megkapja az 1000 euro-t, a Top-รฉrt pedig jรกr a busรกs รถtรถs. Sokak szerint ez senkit sem fenyeget, hacsak Adam Ondra nem tervez errefelรฉ egy lรกtogatรกst a nyรกri Flatanger tripp elล‘tt. A szervezล‘k annyit รญgรฉrtek, a teremben van klรญma - le lehet hลฑteni, ha csak ez hiรกnyozna a sikerhez!!!

According to the French Mountaineering Federation, IFSC has reduced the maximum climbing time in the semis and finals in Lead competitios in 2017 from eight to six minutes. Interesting is that 10 years ago climbers were allowed to spend 15 minutes up on the route. Since then 8a has several times suggested that six minutes should be the maximum and also that time should decide on ties, which has been the case for some years now. IFSC has also reduced the time in bouldering finals to four minutes instead of 4+ minutes. Last year, the finalists were allowed to start the last attempt at 3.59, resting as much as possible. In 2017, they will have to start about 3.30 in order to top out before the bell. In practice, this might make the final attempt more exciting for the spectators. Most probably, some guys will fail due to the new time constraint. Furthermore, it will make the final more of an endurance challenge as the boulders will have to rest less in between attempts and also in between boulders.
