Arzak 8C by Eliot Stephens
Eliot Stephens, who six months ago had done two 8B+', has had an amazing one month trip around Ticino where he did eleven boulders 8A+ and harder including three 8B+' andArzak 8C in Murgtal.
"Great line from Fred with some excellent movement. A nice milestone. Love this style. Next time we go back... from the last, to the first. " The 27-year-old talks about Nicole's FAs, meaning his next goal is Dreamtime.
How can you explain your recent peak performance?
I had maybe 3 years of one bad finger pulley injury after another. Feel like I have been on the same level for a while, and donโt feel like I really jumped up a level in the last years, just things have started working out. I suppose if you work hard enough eventually he results come
Mainly last 12 months I have avoided injury, that is really the key. Allowed my fingers to progress as they should have and not kept taking steps backwards. I also made more focus on rock climbing. And just tried more stuff near my limit."
Next plan is to train until spring and then think about where to go next. want to get back to Swiss for Dreamtime
