Mistic 8c and two 8a OS by Lukas Sager (15)
Lukas Sager, who has been in Margalef with his father since December 26th, has done his second 8c, Mistic. During the last two weeks, he has also redpointed two 8b+'s and onsighted two 8a's. The 15-year-old has been alone since the end of February when his father travelled back to Austria.
"I'm in the Margalef Refugio. There is a communal kitchen. Once a week I go to Cafe Vernet, otherwise, I cook myself. I get to know so many nice people that I don't have time for loneliness. Of course, I sometimes miss my parents and my little sister. I go to the rock and talk to the climbers. Here they are all open, a community that holds together. I do school over the Internet, which is less fun. When I get homesick, I will come back. My parents are super tolerant in times like these.
I plan to leave Margalef on March 26th, if the Covid situation allows. hitchhiking to France if I will find some climbers who also go to France. Then I try to get to Vienna by train. When I get home I will continue to drill my project near Vienna. Several Multi pitches in the Wenden and Rรคtikon. Then there is the climbing competition, which is totally fun for me, depend the corona situation is developing. The Austrian State Championships take place at the beginning of May, so I definitely want to take part to defend my title. In mid-April, I hope to find a climbing gym where it is possible to train."

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.
