"I came two weeks ago and worked it six times. This weekend I give a go to try the moves again and then I've done it on my first real go from the ground.
This route suites my style: small crimps and short power endurance. With some super rests between sections. It's for sure it's a great step in my climbing, also because I discover these days how working a route route is awesome and now I want to try harder for sure !
For 2018, as a first year in senior, I will focus on comps. I want to do the World Cup circuit in lead and do the Combined at the World Championships and for sure some outdoor climbing when competitions will give some times. This route and the psyched for it really makes me think about other projects. Next week off for the Bouldering Nationals."
In the 8a Combined ranking game, Hugo is #20. In the Combined Youth World Champion last year, he was #8.

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.
