Schweinebaumeln 9a by Thomas O'Halloran

Thomas O'Halloran has done the first repeat of Alex Megos Schweinebaumeln 9a in Blue Mountains. The picture is from this summer walking up to Cรฉรผse and here is a nice video of him doing Mister Hyde 8c+ up there. "Over the past few years I have spent a lot of days on it, but always in the middle of summer in bad conditions. Iโ€™d just use it as a training route while everything else was out of season. It was a good training route to keep fit. I did it on the 4th day of attempts this season. Itโ€™s very satisfying to do. Iโ€™m not feeling especially fit or strong at the moment and it didnโ€™t feel like it took a lot out of me. So itโ€™s great to know I have quite a bit more room to improve!"

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s 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. Outdoor bouldering isโ€ฆ
