9a and 8C by Jernej Kruder

Jernej Kruder has taken some days off from his training preparation for the Boulder WC and done Catalan Witness the Fitness 8C and Bi Herre, Borroka Bat 9a in La Cueva de l'ocell. (c) Greg Mionske "It was unbelievable! Doing a 9a route and 8C boulder in two days is just something wonderful." The Slovenian, is one of the best multi-discipline climbers in the world and he is #2 in the 8a combined ranking game. In 2014, he was #2 in the Boulder World Champion and last year he did Es Pontas 9a+, beside also doing hard core MPs. "My training program is simple and it only contains power endurance, mainly 15 moves circles. I just enjoy climbing....I don't bother with my goals too much...so I'm just working on my power endurance which I think it gives me the best progression."
