Mile Heyden jumps from 8A to 8B+

Mile Heyden has done an amazing jump from 8A to do Feuerwalze 8B+ in Schwäbische Alb. So how many sessions, any specific indoor training and what is next with the 8B+ confidence? "I think about 20 to 25 sessions :) First I just wanted to do the second part which is 8A, but I did it in only one session which was really cool :) I recreated the boulder in our gym and did a specific undercut training (like the beastmaker 7sec program). I also did lots of boulders with many moves for the endurance. Now with 8B+ confidence I think I will dare to try some more harder boulders :) There are some really cool lines in for example Silvretta that I've always wanted to do like Charity Bouldern (8a+). And I think I will try all the open projects, also a 6A jump I never was able to do! Maybe I'm able to now:) But first I have to go rope climbing with my boyfriend because he spotted me all the time (really don`t like rope climbing :))"
