9a FA by Roland Hemetzberger
Roland Hemetzberger, who previously has done ten 8c+, has done his second 9a FA after five years of projecting, The Void in Achleiten.
"30m of 8b+ or 8c climbing a small rest follows in a hard boulder. I always thought the last meters were not climbable. I have tried the route every year and this year maybe six days or so. That is the Route. The Name is calling - The Void - every climber knows this feeling. My hardest ascent before was Lichtblick, a 9a FA in Achleiten too."
Rolands next plan is to travel to Africa and later to free a long alpine route and also open some more sport projects.

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs 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.
