โThe route is quite new, bolted by Flo Schmalzl. We did the third (Misha) and fourth ascent after Flo and Jakob [Schubert]. I first tried it on Wednesday last week, but I only had one good try because, on all the other attempts, my heel slipped all the time on a high left heel hook in the middle of the route. Yesterday, I checked out the moves one more time and then sent it on the next go.โ
What are the winter plans and the competition plans for 2025?
No proper plans for this winter, but I think training starts in December again, so I will also rest a bit in November. And for next comp season I plan to compete in all lead world cups and I am not sure about bouldering yet. maybe I do a few bouldering world cups, which are at the same venue as lead or close to Austria.

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
