Can you tell us more about Trofeo?
I tried the route for the first time last year. Adamโs video made me psyched to try it. I really liked it so I finally came back this year for a few short trips. On day four I fell very close and I knew I could do it. Then I did it on day seven with a good flow :) The route is amazing, it is mostly about pinches on tufas and the rock is rough and very fun to climb!
What's next?
There are a few routes in Tyrol, Weisse rose and Qui that I would like to climb. Otherwise, I want to do some trips but I donโt have any exact plans yet.

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.
