Hemetzberger does WoGรผ 8c MP

Black Diamond reports that Roland Hemetzberger has made the second repeat of WoGรผ 8c MP in Rรคtikon. It is considered the hardest multi-pitch in Europe; 8c, 8a, 8c, 8b+, 8b+, 8a+, 7c+. It was equipped by Beat Kammerlander in 1997 and Adam Ondra did the FA in 2008 and later Edu Marin also did it. Roland has previously done sport routes up to 9a+ and multi-pitches up to 8c+, Nirwana, which he down graded. "This year I followed a straight plan and gave all my energy and effort to this route- and spent a lot of time on the 350m wall. The climbing is so demanding, brutally fingery and sustained."

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s 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. Outdoor bouldering isโ€ฆ
