Storm 8b+ by Niki Rusev (13)
Niki Rusev, who just did his first 8c, has done his fourth 8b+, Storm in Bojenica. (c) Ivan Totev
Interestingly, all his 8b+ he did just the last three months and amazingly he lives 150 km from the nearest climbing gym. Anyhow, he trains four days a week, mainly with Alex Totkova. One day they go to the rock together with the coach Faza and other friends.
"I like to climb because that's the only thing that makes me happy. I have not favorite subject at school. Yes, I play some games, but they make me bored. I am having fun, only when I'm climbing. Now I train hard and prepare for the upcoming competitions and I hope to achieve what I want.
When we can't go to Sofia. I run in the forest and do little cross-fit or we go to a fitness gym. They have a small boulder with a campus but that is not enough."
