Radek Votocek does Intermezzo XY gelรถst (9a)

Radek Votocek, who the last seven weeks has done his first two 9aโ€™s, has repeated Klem Loskotโ€™s Intermezzo XY gelรถst (9a) in Plombergstein. โ€Pure joy of movement ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ”ฅโ€

Can you tell us more about the ascent?
Intermezzo XY gelรถst is a route in the beautiful lake region of Austria. Itโ€™s only about 8 meters long, with a super intense boulder section right at the first bolt. The crux is a big reach into a sloper from a tiny pinch.

On the day of the send, I didnโ€™t feel in great shape, but on my second try I gave it everything in the boulder and managed to get through. The traverse and the finish were pretty chill after that. Super psychedโ€”this is my first 9a in Austria!
