โLast day, best day before my flight back to Belgium and the end of my visa. Best way to end my trip with a good crew and energy at the Boulderโ.
What are your next plan?
Enjoy climbing in Europe with my friends with no pressure.
Are you going to compete in 2025?
Yes, in the 3 boulder World Cups in Europe.
Which could possibly be your fifth 9A?
Megatron! The next year or this fall I hope to complete the one I miss from the 5 firsts V17.
What about doing one more 9A FA
Iโd be psyched to try the right exit of Alphane yeah but weโll see.
