Perfect Link 8c+ by Christian Bindhammer (44)

Christian Bindhammer, who did his last out 14 8c+/9a and harder in 2012, has done his second 8c+ in 2020, Perfect Link in Pinswang-Schloss. The 44-year-old was one of the best competition climber in the world in between 1997 and 2005. He is working as an IFSC route setter so he has had more time going outdoors creating a nice peak in 2020. (c) Dominik Bรถsch All together a quite "complete" climb, as holds are also quite mixed up from supersmall crimps to slopers and some pockets climbing meters around 30 to 35m Was already close last year but as it is a winter area, you have to wait for cold but sunny days. Did several 8cโ€˜s this year - much easier - so the route could check in with 8c+ in my opinion. ...and as itโ€˜s another lockdown here - I had a bit more time than normal for climbing๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜ which makes it a lot easier to try hard when conditions are good.

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s 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. Outdoor bouldering isโ€ฆ
