Nesplněný sen 8A+ by Lucie Hrozová
How come you have not done any hard boulders since May last year?
It is because I have had more trouble with Compartment syndrome in my forearms. I wasn't able to climb at all for a long time.

The 33-year-old has won 14 WC medals in Ice Climbing and she has also done one of the hardest mix routes in the world, Saphira M15-. This career came to a halt due to a serious shoulder injury. Then in 2019 she did an 8c but she had to stop due to Compartment syndrome. Instead, in may 2020 she started bouldering and within six months she did her first 8A+.
