8c+ again by Jakob Kronberger (16)

Jakob Kronberger, who previoulsy has done four 9a's has done his seventh 8c+, Speck in Salzburger Land. "I tried the route every once in a while over the past one and a half years. I never really liked the moves, so I did not get into projecting it that hard. Now that the conditions are getting better, I was able to climb it without that much time effort. The route used to be 8c, but a foothold broke off and since then nobody climbed it again. I think 8c+ should be ok. I am not in Innsbruck because I just prefer rockclimbing over competitions. I do not want to spent the time that would be needed to do really well in the climbing gym. At least not for now."
