Skofic & Röck win in Imst

Domen Skofic took his third victory in 2016 and levels up with his girlfriend Janja Garnbret, who was fifth after three straight victories, saying that she was so stressed about timing out. Anak Verhoeven was timed out even though she had a watch on her wrist and in fact, none of the female would have been able to reach the top within eight minutes. The wall in Imst is 21 meter high and rather vertical in the lower parts making it hard to climb fast. More great pics from (c) Eddie Fowke. 1. Domen Skofic SLO 53+ : Magdalena Röck AUT 56+ 2. Jakob Schubert AUT 53+ : Mina Markovic SLO 56 3. Gauthier Supper FRA 50 : Jain Kim KOR 56 Complete results Interestingly, all 16 finalist but one made it to hold 39 and in the end just the final itself took more than 2.5 hours.
