Štěpán Volf completes Warrior (8C)
Can you tell us more about this climb, Warrior?
Well, I tried it briefly last winter doing all the moves pretty quickly in a session (8A+ into 8A into 8A in my opinion) and already back then I knew it was just a matter of time. Good conditions did not last for long so I waited and trained for this season and came down in 4th session this time - 8 in total. Had more battle with endurance and cold as it has 22 moves (16 moves in roof, than 6 moves to top out) and for good friction it has to be around 0 degrees. I am supper happy about this one and curious what else this season brings!
