Dugi rat 9a+ FA by Jernej Kruder
Jernej Kruder, boulder World Cup winner in 2018 and famous for his multi-discipline focus instead of training indoors before the comps, reports on Insta that he has done the FA of Dugi rat 9a+ in Vrulja, Croatia. Old projecting video.
"Incredible line! Bolted it 3 years ago and had to spend 5(6) visits to finish it, including one month trip that was too rainy. Braking some holds made it way harder during the tires, but so happy it remained climbable. Had a huge fight with a bit easier upper part because of numb fingers. Still dreaming about the line <3."
In the 8a Combined ranking game, the Slovenian is #5 including 8b+ DWS FA, 8b+ MP, 8b+ trad and 8C Boulder FA etc. In the 8a Climber of the year, he is #6.
