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 :)?
Arenโt you the one that says building a base to your pyramid is important?! :-) When I was younger I did a lot of 8b+โs in the Frankenjura and then skipped all the nice 8cโs and 8c+โs and did AD. I havenโt been back in almost ten years and right now Iโm enjoying climbing on different routes every day, rather than focusing on just one or two projects. But donโt worry. I will take advantage of all the free time and try a few hard routes as well this year. Maybe Iโll have a few trips where I focus on onsight climbing too... but who knows. Iโm loving the freedom of my empty schedule right now.
What about indoor and competition training like Speed?
I havenโt 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.

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.
