Schwarz Mรถnch 9a by David Firnenburg
David Firnenburg, who previoulsy has done three 9a+, has done his 15th 9a, Schwarz Mรถnch in Gimmelwald. "Happy to send this route before the season comes to an end here. Great endurance climb with two bouldery sections. Harder than Alpenbitter and Jungfraumarathon. Felt like 9a for me. Needed 3 sessions to send it."
What is next?
Maybe I go for โInfernoโ which is the last 9a up there and check out one of the projects. Afterwards, I am not sure yet. There is still a lot to do. Sooner or later Iโll try a project in Soyhieres which is at least 9a. Maybe harder. Temps are getting colder again which is nice ๐
Are you a full-time climber now?
Nope, still a student ๐ค; Psychology, Philosophy and Sociology. Climbing as much as possible aside. There are two years left but I plan to take a break in one year together with my girlfriend Andrea (Kรผmin), if she isnโt too busy with comp climbing. The break will be around half a year. Maybe an EU rock trip.

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.
