Markus Eder repeats Loskot's 9a (+)

NUMBERS

23 November 2012

Klem Loskot gives us the story of his first, and the second ascent, from Markus Eder of The Balcony project, 9a (+). "It is a fantastic line and it has been in my brain since I bolted it 18 years ago. It is bouldery, absolutely not my style, so fingery. I am heavy and it is not possible to put much weight on feet. Three weeks ago I started to work it together with Markus Eder. It is nice to not work alone and we found a new solution and two session later I did it and some days ago also Markus did it." What is your plan for the future? Keep on pulling hard and evolving my style of "flying and dancing weightless" on the rock and of course climb some more hard stuff. I opened a lot of hard boulders the last two years which I want icons of bouldering to try, like Forever Pretty, 8B+ I put up three weeks ago. I feel still not on zenith which I want to find... I forgot in the mail yesterday that I want to pay tribute, say that Zunami (8C) by the Schwaiger brothers in 2003 is very cool. Also, it's a pure line, for limestone here at home not so easy to find. It's how you think of a hard boulder, check the picture!
