Lukas Mayerhofer does the FA of Anam Cara Low (8C)
Lukas Mayerhofer, has added to his previous three 8C's with the FA of Anam cara low (8C) in Silvretta which adds four [hand] moves into Anam Cara (8B+).
How much difficulty is added with the new low start and how much effort have you put in?
I would say around 7C or 7C+, itโs not super hard but it adds quite a bit.
I actually did the original start back in 2020 and shortly after I figured out the lower moves but was too weak back then. Since then it was on my mind for some years and I tried it every now and then but I was hopeless. This year I came back with a better mindset and three sessions were enough to finish it!

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.
