House of shock 9a by Jan Hojer

Jan Hojer,who did his first 9a ten years ago (Action Directe), has done House of Shock in Frankenjura. "I checked it out at the end of a session a couple of weeks ago. It felt alright but I thought it might take me a little while. Today (two sessions later) I found myself clipping the chains."

How much comp training have you done lately and what about summer plans and comps?
The last two months I spent 80% of my sessions on rock. When I’m indoors I focus on hard board climbing. I might go to Céüse like everyone else. Other thann that I just see where the weather is good. Maybe I will compete in Briancon or not at all this year.
