9a by Martin Schidlowski
Martin Schidlowski has done his first 9a, Kraftplatzl in Berglsteiner See. "it took me 15 sessions, the fist one being in march last year. In winter I focused on power endurance (the route only has 25 moves) and finger strength training. When perseverance, dedication and hard work finally pay off! Got lucky with the conditions after many frustrating tries. Thanks to all my friends for belaying me, especially Valerie for the positive attitude on the sending day!
My next plan is to finish my mountain guide education and to find more time for alpine climbing and mountaineering. I will rather focus on longer routes during the summer months instead of starting a new hard project."

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.
