Frank's Wild Years 8A+ by Andrea Kรผmin
Andrea Kรผmin has done her second 8A+, Frank's Wild Years in Cresciano. The psychology student has been an active WC climber for seven years, with #10 as her best result yet.
โI tried the boulder once a few years ago and could not do a single move. It wasnt until last december I touched the holds again. Last year I tried it twice and fell on the last hard move a few times. After that I did not get outdoors until two weeks ago, because I studied a lot for my exams. When I tried it again and did it, it felt pretty good๐ I am really happy I climbed this boulder, because it is imo a powerful problem and it showed me that I made big progress in the last years๐
I hope that competitions will be back. So I am training for the BWC in meiringen and Innsbruck and the WCH in Moscow๐ Meiringen is my favourite comp๐คฉ And successfully finish my bachelor degree๐ค
My thesis is about therapeutic climbing with depressive patients. Atm I am studying fulltime, which is a bit stressfull at sometimes but I generally really enjoy it๐ โ

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.
