A tegnapi nap "Margojรกra": La Rambla 9a+ Margo Hayestล‘l
A poszt ami mellett nem mehet el a mรกszรณvilรกg รฉs ami sokakban felkorbรกcsolta az รกllรณvizet, avagy elgondolkodtat รฉs tiszteletet รฉbreszt. Margo Hayes lett az elsล‘ 9a+ -ra fokozott รบt nล‘i megmรกszรณja. Semmi slash grade (osztott fokozat), semmi kitรถrt fogรกs-vita. A spanyolorszรกgi La Rambla 9a+ kente le a gyรถnyรถrลฑ รฉs bรกjos 18 รฉves fiatalsรกg. A csajszi tavaly mรกszta elsล‘ 9a-jรกt (megjegyzem csendesen Farkas Tamรกs szerint ez az a fokozat amit egy hobbimรกszรณ elรฉrhet), most pedig egyel nล‘tt a tรฉt! A szintรฉn Amerikai Matty Hong is lecsลฑrte egy nappal korรกbban az utat, Greg Mionske pedig, aki a fotรณblogjรกrรณl รฉs videรณirรณl is hรญres - arrรณl szรกmolt be, hogy Margonak 7 nap projektelรฉs kellett a nagy menet elล‘tt. Eszmรฉletlen hol tart a sport... szegรฉny Dani Andrada biztos รกlmatlan รฉjszakรกkkal szenved... ล‘ rรฉgebb รณta projekteli a Rambla-t mint ahรกny รฉves az amcsi leรกnyzรณ.

Hogy az ezutรกni fogรกskitรถrรฉs mit nehezรญtett, azt csak az idล‘ fogja megmondani - de kรถnnyen lehet hogy nem Margรณรฉ az ikonikus cรญm elnyerรฉse.

Adjust your strength for specific routes/boulders
If you train hard on crimps you actually loose some strength on sloopers or deep two finger pockets. In other words, if you train hard indoors for your next trip or outdoor project, it will be much better if you train on the same type of holds and gripping positions. The good thing is that it just takes a few sessions to adjust your strength for specific routes/boulders by recruitment finger training. The weakest position for most climbers is normally the open crimp, shown in the picture. By making this gripping position stronger, you get a more balanced repertoire in between open hand and closed crimp.

Set wide pyramid grade goals
The 8a scorecard system counting the Top-10 ascents was set up in 2000 in order to promote pyramid grade goals. Such goals are fun and reduce the risk for injuries in comparison to just working on the next grade progress. To have a broad base in your pyramid will also make you a better climber in the long run. If your personal best is 7a, try to do at least four before going for a 7a+ and try to continue this 4-multiplication so the day you do your first 7b, you already have around 16 7a's. The biggest risk when your pyramid starts looking like a spire is that it can very easily break and you might stop climbing. The pyramid in the picture is from Christof Rauch's account. It shows much more potential to progress if he aims on adding some rocks on the top of his grade pyramid. Also Adam Ondra has a solid base with more than 90 9a's.

In the latest episode of Climbing Daily, Matt Groom wants to get comments in regards padding out trad climbing, upon which he says some do not agree. The main reason why this can be controversial is the British E-grading system, which is a combination of difficulty and danger. In other words, if you pad out a dangerous landing, the trad route should get downgraded. The UK guys are critical towards padding out things as it is less impressive to do a padded out dangerous trad route so it is like cheating as the injury risk gets reduced.

Moritz Perwitzschky (17) sets new standards
Moritz Perwitzschky has done ten boulders graded 8A to 8B in Kochel this weekend. This means that the 17-year-old has done a total of 44 boulders 8A and harder in 2017! In 2016, he did a total of 22 boulders 8A and harder, seven out of which he sent in December. Something has really kicked in! How can you explain this extreme progress? I focused on rope climbing last year and also had school, so this year there's much more time for bouldering and I also use that for training too. Seems it works quite well for me. Is it not time to raise the bar and go for something really hard? I think not. I just want to climb as much as possible and the result doesn't even matter. The fitness and the sends will come sooner or later, if you don't get injured. And as I don't do any systematical training, I don't really know, what I'm capable of so let's see.
