Sebastien BOUIN has done Fabela 8c+ and Ciudad de Dios 9a in Santa Linya. Previously, he has done 21 routes 9a and harder out of which ten of them were FAs. "This route is powerful at the start and then a little bit crimpy. I fell more or less 10 times on the crux with a bad beta. Yesterday, after my first try, I decided to change the beta. The try after that, I did the route. This is part of the experience I think, to feel the better way to get past the crux." His next plans are one 9a in Terradets and maybe Catxasa 9a+ in Santa Linya. "My finger IS better, but not yet totally recovered. I hope in one month it will be good."

Brunico in South Tyrol has some 20 000 inhabitants. In 2015, their 8.5 million gym paid by the municipality and run by Alpenverein Südtirol was open with one idea: to let all pupils climb as part of their gymnastic classes. Every sixth week, all students from 7 - 19 years old have two classes of climbing together with their teachers. We will follow up with how this works in practice. The wall to the left on the picture hides a 20 meter wide and 18 meter high outdoor wall. To make the story even more amazing. In total the gym is open 93.5 hours a week. In the closest city, Brixen with 25,000 people some 30 minutes away, there exist another 3 million Euro gym but climbing is not mandatory yet. Some 500,000 people live in in South Tyrol and 12 % are members of the Alpenverein!

Brunico v Južnom Tyrolsku má približne 20 000 obyvateľov. V roku 2015 mestská správa otvorila 8.5 miliónovú halu, ktorú riadi Alpenverein Südtirol, s jediným cieľom: aby mohli mať školáci ako povinnú súčasť telesnej výchovy lezenie. Každých 6 týždňov majú študenti od 9 do 17 rokov spolu s učiteľmi dve hodiny lezeckých kurzov. Neskôr prinesieme informácie o tom, ako sa tento systém osvedčil v praxi. Na obrázku je za ľavou stenou schovaná 20 metrov široká a 18 metrov vysoká outdoorová lezecká stena. Ešte lepšou správou je, že je otvorená 93.5 hodín do týždňa! Ďalšia trojmiliónová lezecká hala sa nachádza asi 30 minút cesty autom v meste Brixen s cca 25 000 obyvateľmi, no tu ešte lezenie nie je povinné. Zaujímavosťou je, že v regióne Južné Tyrolsko žije približne 500 000 ľudí a 12% z nich sú členmi Alpenverein!
