Sanjski par extension 9a by Jernej Kruder

Jernej Kruder, who won the Boulder World Cup in 2018, has done Sanjski par extension (9a) in Osp - Banje in Babna. "Countless tries over the years. Big discussion here about using kneepads...When this route was climbed back in 2004, there was no such things as rubbered kneepads. I'm not against it while doing the FA or repeating the route that was first climbed whit it, but using it here definitely changes the route. Anyways I tried it and did it without and I feel like that's one of my hardest routes I've climbed so far. I guess I managed to climb it in 2 parts very quickly, but the last half of the tries was an "easy go" in 2 parts. probably I was not in the wall for more than 2 minutes :)"

The 33-year-old has previously done nine routes 9a to 9a+ and also Es pontas (9b). He has been an active IFSC competition climber for almost 20 years. This year, he was #6 in the European Championship which he won in 2020. The Slovenian is known for not training indoors but instead mainly preparing for the comps outdoors also by doing multi-pitches.
