Last route, last climber, his last try. Baptiste Ometz managed to stick the dyno and secure the overall victory for Blockfeld Winterthur. Then he continued making the first top. What an amazing ending of a superb Deep Water Solo show in Wuppertal. The winning team from Switzerland: Baptiste Ometz, Benjamin Blaser, Jara Späte, Kevin Heiniger, Mathias Seiler, Natalie Bärtschi, Nils Favre, Noe Wetter, Noemi Langenkamp, Samuel Ometz.

Ryuichi Murai has repeated two Dai Koyamada's Boulders in Shinobara. Most impressive was his 30 min ascent of Uma, to which he gave a personal grade of 8B+.

Daniel Woods, who did the FA of an 8C+ Boulder last year, comes with good news on Facebook that he has done his fourth 9a+. "Sent Papichulo (9a+) last night. This is the most resistant route I have climbed on. 50 meters limited rests, perfect rock, sketchy slab outro... Has everything. Props to Chris Sharma for having the vision and establishing it. Photo Matty Hong" The day before he sent Víctimas Pérez 9a in Margalef which is another resistant testpiece. Not bad for the one who has done some 25 boulders 8C or harder.

Adam Ondra started to experiment with structured and peak optimization training in 2011. During the last three years he has been working together with Patxi Usobiaga and his PUC training concept. Interestingly, this training concept includes no real periodization but instead it is ongoing mix of power and endurance in combination with micro-preparations before realizing his goals. The reasons for this are that it is more fun and less hard for the head. (c) Javi Pec Please explain your focus in 2016 and the PUC training concept? I definitely do not want to to make the whole World cup circuit. I want to feel more like a rock climber. At the same, I want to test how PUC training works for climbing outdoors. If I will pick a few WC stages, time will tell. PUC training is quite simple. Training hard and smart at the same time, towards my goal. Periods of hard training and switching to the periods of realizing my goals. Periodization might be annoying sometimes, but for getting the shape to realize my dreams it is worth it! I love the feeling when I feel strong, weightless and smooth. How much training and which type are we talking about? Well, I usually train something like six days a week, doing campus board and bouldering every day (doing power-based campus board every even day, power endurance campus every odd day), and adding some specific training on rings and TRX every second day and endurance based climbing every second day. Just before realizing my goals, I train two days in a row and one day rest, sometimes only one climbing day. In these days, I usually do very short campus session in the morning and some super hard routes/circuits, with long rests in between and in between 2 and 4 hard routes, excluding the warm ups. Training might not be as hard it was in the last two years when I worked hard for the competitions. We keep experimenting and always trying to find the new and unconventional ways of training. But it is possibly smarter than in the last two years and more specific towards my outdoor goals which are mostly in Flatanger this summer. Is not periodization more like doing four-six weeks blocks? The length of the training period vary, and it is definitely not for the 18 weeks straight. That might be the efficient in theory, but very hard for the head. It is more fun to make the training periods a bit shorter. I do endurance period only at the very beginning of the season, or for no more than one week during the season, in case I happen to have longer period of training. But even in the endurance period, I boulder a little bit, to keep it more fun and not to go too low with the power. The power period is something most of the time when I train and it is what I explained. But it is not power only. I add power endurance (or endurance, the border is sometimes unclear). From my experience, if I do not get pumped for a long time, my ability to climb power endurance or endurance route deteriorates a lot. And then power endurance period (just before realization of my goals) is about doing hard routes, but I still put a little bit of campus to increase my power at the same time.
