"I am excited that I can climb on this level and continue to improve as a climber. Itโs hard to reconcile intensive training and being a mum of 2 active kids, but I am happy that itโs possible :)" It took me 5 sessions in total (including 2 sessions on the first part of the boulder, which also has a different ending called "Amores Perros dla leszczy" graded 7C+). After sending the easier version it was obvious that I should try the harder one. Which I thought is graded 8A, so it seemed reachable. Despite doing all the moves in 30 minutes, linking them all took three more sessions, and in the meantime I realised it's graded 8A+ :)"

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.
