Ephyra 8C+ and an 8C by Yannick Flohé

Yannick Flohé has had a great trip to Chironico where he did Ephyra (8C+). "One of my favourite boulders so far big moves on pinches. Hard to grade might be easier with long arms but anyway I need the points for the ranking 🤑 4 sessions in two trips,".

Later on the same day he also sent From Dirt Grows The Flowers (8C). "Couldn’t do the mantle last trip but somehow found myself on top of this block today right after sending Ephyria. Psyched to send my projects so quickly after the #onlytryneversent trip a couple of weeks ago." (c) Xaver Quintus

In the 8a's Climber of the Year list, the German was #3 based on being #5 in the Lead World Cup and #4 in the Boulder WC, although he skipped three events. His worst result, out of ten World Cups, was #7, at the Boulder World Champion in 2021. In the 8a rakning game, he was #6 in Boulder and he also sent four 8c+ routes.

What are your goals for 2023?
My Plan for 2023 is to focus on the comp season as usual but I’ll skip some world cups and prepare fo the world championship in Bern because it’s the first event to qualify for the Olympics. Later this year I hope to have some more time for outdoor projects and I’m also motivated to try some lead routes in Ceüse again.

I’m still improving in comp climbing I’ll keep competing and after that I’ll probably focus more on rock climbing and studying
