Jan Hojer and Michaela Kiersch Win Psicobloc 2016

Jan hojer and Michaela Kiersch have won the 2016 Psiobloc masters, where 16 male and female battled head to head. In fact, both Jan and Michaela won first the qualification and then took down all opponents on the 8a respectively 8b routes and in the final; it was like two photo finishes on the 17 meter wall. It is interesting that Jan was #2 in the Boulder World Cup last year and the runner-up, Nathaniel Coleman, was #4. Michaela did an 8b+ on her second go just few days after her victory. In the 4 hours video there were also some Olympic discussions. (c) Steve Rokks
