8c+ again by Jakob Kronberger (17)

Jakob Kronberger, who previously has done six 9a's, has done a very quick ascent of Alptraum in Rofan. Picture from his great Insta. "On the weekend before it was a bit wet so I just checked out the moves for a day. One week later the conditions in the evening were really good and after making a mistake on the first try I sent it on my second. The route hasn't got many moves and the holds are far apart so I felt like it fit my style really well. I do have a few routes in my mind that I want to climb this year. I might try a 9a+ but I don't want to spend all my time on one route so I still have to see how it will go."
