Moritz Perwitzschky flashes Amandla 8B (+)
Moritz Perwitzschky has flashed Fred Nicole's classical Amandla (8B+) in Rocklands giving it a personal 8B grade. The 24-year-old made his first VL/8a headline in 2013 and his last was from this summer when he sent Corona (9a+).
Can you tell us more about the flash and your 8B personal grade?
The boulder was graded 8B+ with the direct jump beta over a crimp. With the high right foot and the bump method, I think it is rather 8B. But the holds are there and it is easier so for me it doesn't make sense to climb it the direct way.
I trained a lot in this style the last weeks and was quite confident, to climb it quickly, didn't expect to flash it though.

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.
