Jan ล tipek, 17, does Wild Publico (9a)
Jan ล tipek, who got the bronze in the Euro Youth Championship in August, has sent Wild Publico (9a) in Margalef, in three plus two tries. The 17-year-old sent his first 9a almost one year ago, in only three tries, so 9a+ should also be within reach.
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
The ascent was pretty quick โ I needed three attempts before climbing Pal Publico, and then two more tries for Wild Publico itself. I was a bit scared in the first boulder where thereโs a jump into a one-finger pocket, but I managed it pretty well, and after that it was mainly about holding on through the two cruxes from Pal Publico.
How long is your trip and what is the plan once getting back home?
Our trip is just under a month, and once Iโm back Iโm planning to train a lot for competitions and for some nice outdoor boulders as well.

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.
