Sviní Mor 8B flash by Will Bosi
The 25-year-old has been a very active and successful competition climber since 2012 but he has previously said that he will take a break from the WC circuit and focus on outdoors after not qualifying for the Olympics. Last year he made nine routes 9a to 9b+.
How long have you been in the area and what has been your focus?
I've been here since the 23rd of March and I’m staying till the end of April. Quite a lot of bouldering and a bit of lead mainly at Sloup and Holstejn, had a really good trip so far with quite a lot of sends. I have Band of Birds coming out in the last week to get some good photos and I’ll need to check all the info and then you know the full ticklist 😁
Adam Ondra comments on Insta, " @will_bosi 🏴 has stayed in my hometown Brno 🇨🇿 for a few weeks. Absolutely crushing some of the local testpieces in Moravský Kras (Moravian Karst) 💪 You can see both of us on the Czech Cup in lead in Brno (@hudystenabrno) tomorrow 😎"
