Generation Z (9a) FA by Lukas Mayerhofer
Lukas Mayerhofer, who previously has done 17 boulders 8B+ to 8C, has done the FA of Generation Z (9a) at the Frankenfels.
Can you tell us more about your FA?
The route was first bolted 2006 and some strong local climbers tried it every now and then but nobody really found a solution. 2021 was the first time I checked the holds and found a possible beta for every section but couldn't send at that time. Then in 2022 I worked again on the lower section but one sequence felt really hard (around 8a+/b boulder). But this season I really wanted to climb the full line, and gave it all my motivation and got the reward to send it after around 12 sessions. It's style is really fingery climbing, very technical and a good portion of power endurance is needed.

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.
