Oriane Bertone (17) ready for Meiringen
Oriane Bertone took silver in Meiringen last year and overall she was #3 in the Boulder World Cup. This was surprisingly not as sensational as it seemed as she had already dominated the youth scene for several years, while at the same time setting several female records outdoors, including doing an 8B (+) at age 12!
How are you feeling the day before Meiringen starts and how have you prepared?
Iโm doing good, super excited for the season to start :) Iโve been working on my weak points for the past few months and I think I got a bit better ๐. Physical boulders, compressions style or anything where you have to use more muscles than usually.
Any outdoor climbing?
Iโve been concentrating on indoor climbing recently. I didnโt have much time to go climbing outside because of that. Hopefully, Iโll be able to go to Font when Iโll be back from Meiringen.
What are your further plans for 2022?
For the moment Iโll be concentrating on this weekend WC, have loads of fun and enjoy the newly started season :)
What about schooling and how much do you train in a normal week?
Yeah Iโm still in school :)) Iโm homeschooling actually, so I can have more time to climb and organize my schedule :) I would say around 8 training sessions a week but it depends a lot!

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.
