Becan sums up 2011 and looks forward

"2011 was a long season. I had more than 20 international comps including all the masters. But this is how I decided I will do and I'm happy with it. Two times #2 in boulder and just miss #3 in lead, were nice results. The only problem I see was I didn't have any time for rock climbing and big wall... Anyway I did some hard and some nice boulders, onsighted around 20 8bs or harder and I finally did the project in Medveja which I think could be easily 9a if not harder. Kleman Becan was actually the male doing most comps and in Boulder he was #7 and #12 in Lead. In 2012 he plans for less competitions and more rock. He started by onsighting Kallisté, 8c in Archidona and says that next time he goes for Orujo, 9a+.
