Tamas Zupan does Brain rot (8C+)
Tamas Zupan, who sent his fourth 8C in March, has done the first repeat of Brain rot (8C+) in Magic Wood. โAn amazingly good boulder. Three really hard moves on crimps. One of the best crimpy, tensiony and compact boulders in the forest. Thanks to Barna Kerรฉnyi for the information and motivation for this boulder.โ
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I had five sessions. I could try in the morning and evening because of the temperature. Three very difficult mooves on crimps. Keeping the big swing was the crux for me. After Will Bosi climbed it, Barna told me that I would be interested. I am very happy that I managed to climb it. One of the best boulder in the forest.
Why do you think you are peaking now at 37?
I did a workout in the first half of the year. 500 pull-ups every day for 1 month on a 12mm crimp. And for the next two months just campus, and campus bouldering in 60 degree overhang. I am not a very technical climber, but I like to train my finger strength. And I'm looking for crimpy bouldering. :)

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs 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 isโฆ
