Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I wanted to try this route for some time. After watching videos, I thought it suited my style because itโs bouldery. During the first two days I couldnโt stick the crux move (the one in the photo). On the third day, when the temperature dropped a bit, I finally managed to do it, but needed one more to complete the whole route. So on the fourth day, after falling in the โeasy section,โ I was able to climb the entire line.

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.
