La Nave de los Locos FA by 9a by Iker Pou (42)

Iker Pou, who did his first 9a in 2000 with Action Directe, has done the FA of La Nave de los Locos 9a in Mallorca, which was bolted by Josรฉ Luis Palao. "It has 25 meters very collapsed of pure resistance with holes, tufas, and crimps, where it stands out for being the hardest, several extreme movements one finger pocket. A route therefore very varied from which Iker gets his first ascent." ยฉ N.Colom "The route I did in 6 days more or less if I remember correctly. Usually, I did very few indoor training, I training directly trying the routes and climbing outside on the rocks. Always I'm looking around for new projects and bolting new routes. When I'm at home and not in expeditions, I love to search for new projects and try it hard. I love rock climbing!!! When is bad weather I like indoor bouldering if the boulder area is nice." In 2018, Iker did the FA of Artaburu 9b (+). Including also several 8B+ boulders, multi-pitches up to 8c and big walls in all seven continents, the 42-year-old has one of the most impressive tick lists in the world.

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s 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 isโ€ฆ
