8b+ flash by Tomas Mrazek

Tomas Mrazek has flashed Rock fuchs, 8b+ in Santa Linya. In 2009, Tomas has done one 9a+, four 9a's, one 8c OS and two 8b+ OS. (It was first reported as an onsight but Tomas says it was a flash since he did know where the others fell, even if he did not know about the moves.) Not bad as he did not climb for four months due to an injury, resulting in his weakest competition result for the last seven years, only once at the podium. Tomas won the World Championship in 2003 and 2005 and has since always been Top-3 in the Lead WC.
