Megos does 2nd ascent of Wunderheiler 9a/+
FA Pirmin Bertle comments, "Just noticed in Alex video that I climbed it entirely differently, 1,5m lower, with different holds and the left crux beta of Corona. For me it is definitely harder than Corona which is still solid as 9a+."
Do you not think the easiest sequence should be climbed and graded?
Well basically yes, but as my original intention was to find an unchipped way up there, I logically searched away without the obvious sika hold. Then I learned that even more holds are chipped, but I stuck to my beta if really nice moves and rocks. If you regard sport as an unnecessary way to fight human boredom in the age of fossil energies, it doesn't matter, which beta of which route at which crag you put up to challenge yourself.

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.
