โstarted trying the line on the first weekend after the opening of the region. The lockdown period in Italy was tough and long and my only training chance was on the Beastmaker 2000 ๐ .

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.
