Kristรณf Modriรกn ticks Nova (8C)
Kristรณf Modriรกn, with just one 8B to his name, has repeated Jana Svecovaโs Nova (8C) in Holstejn. The 19-year-old is from Hungary, a country with relatively few high-quality outdoor bouldering opportunities.
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I tried it because Jana was in Budapest. We met her and asked how we can get to Moravsky Kras. She and Martin showed us the crag and I tried Nova, because I wanted to feel how hard an 8C is? I had 4 trips to Czech to climb the boulder.
What is your climbing background?
I started climbing when I was in the 7th grade, so almost 7 years ago. I am having a gap year now before university, to focus on climbing. The most important is that I love climbing on boards such as moonboard or any spray wall.

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
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.
Outdoor bouldering isโฆ
