Radek Votocek ticks his 7th 9a in six months

Radek Votocek has done the second ascent of Pumplori (9a) in Allgรคu. โ€A perfect boulder route in Allgau by C. Bindhammer. Big overhang, power steps, trick passages.โ€

How can you best explain your great progress in 2025?
This year my sends went really well ๐Ÿ™‚. If someone had told me back in March that I would climb 9a seven times this year, I wouldโ€™ve laughed ๐Ÿ˜€. What helped my progress was physiotherapy, better nutrition, and some luck in picking the right routes. For a climber, the most important things are staying injury-free, and truly loving climbing.
