Eleven 8c's by Jan Hojer

Jan Hojer, who has qualified for Tokyo 2021, has during the last two weeks done eleven 8c's in Frankenjura, out of which three second go.

Any thoughts of going for an 8c+ or even 9a :)?
Arenโ€™t you the one that says building a base to your pyramid is important?! :-) When I was younger I did a lot of 8b+โ€˜s in the Frankenjura and then skipped all the nice 8cโ€˜s and 8c+โ€˜s and did AD. I havenโ€™t been back in almost ten years and right now Iโ€™m enjoying climbing on different routes every day, rather than focusing on just one or two projects. But donโ€™t worry. I will take advantage of all the free time and try a few hard routes as well this year. Maybe Iโ€™ll have a few trips where I focus on onsight climbing too... but who knows. Iโ€™m loving the freedom of my empty schedule right now.

What about indoor and competition training like Speed?
I havenโ€™t been inside for almost three weeks. But I go home in two days to focus on training for a little while and also add a couple of speed sessions to the mix.

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s 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 isโ€ฆ
