Klemen Becan (34) enjoys late blooming

Klemen Becan did 60+ WC before he won in Kranj 2008 being 26 years old. On rock he has also enjoyed late blooming and with three 9a+' the last year. With several 8c onsights he is already among the Top-3 in the world. One was actually 8c+ but has gotten down graded and he has been close on several 8c+'. "Still my main goal is to onsight 9a hopefully also this will come one day as well, if not I will just enjoy the journey. I was close to one 9a in Cuenca some time ago.", where he actually placed the quick draws. (c) Anja Becan How many sessions did you need for La Rambla and how was the process? I gave it one try 10 years ago and now I was trying it since the beginning of the year. Could maybe have done it faster if I would be focused only on this one, but where is the fun in that? Too many cool routes around here to do only one at a time :) How can you explain your late progress on comps and rock? Well I never thought I was a bad competition climber. Yes, I could have a better results but that is another story. Also I think the focus was never a big problem since even if I was "just" climbing I was still "training" more than many people. Not with written program and blindly following someone but with many tests and trying what is best for my body. Now I still don't have a training plan. It's all in my head and apparently it works. I know enough to train myself.
