1 500 Euro for a new Zlagboard World Record

The makers of Zlagboard are giving 1,500โ‚ฌ to the one who breaks the standing hangtime world-record. Those who think that this is an easy catch should warm up their body, especially fingers and hang on, literally! Even the record holder Ramon himself was not able to repeat his own record on a second attempt, tough. 2:44.34 - not more, nor less! What is this โ€žhangingโ€œ all about? The makers of Zlagboard have started with the hangtime contests in 2014 and it turned out to be pretty successful. All the competitors hold on the same 2 cm grips with just the tips of their fingers. In front of their tense facies the world-ranking appears and their own hangtime hops higher and higher while they are gripping. This is possible thanks to the smartphone-based application which is connected to the board. The next Zlagboard contests where you can win Euro 1 500 are; Dolorock Climbing Festival in Landro Valley, the Austrian Climbing Festival in Zillertal or the Gramitico in Val Daone.

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders. Outdoor bouldering isโ€ฆ
