8B FA by Stefan Rasmussen (40)

Stefan Rasmussen the man behind almost all hard core bouldering around Västervik has opened Gypsy heart, 8B. "I took a chance, drove one hour and it turned out to be perfect conditions with four degrees. Many youngsters opt for warmer conditions so I mainly climb alone. I have another 20 hard boulders in the area for this winter season." Video (c) Dominik Hadwiger
