Two 8B+ in one session by Alfons Dornauer (20)
Alfons Dornauer did two 8B+ in one session in Zillertal last week, Nussknacker and Traumschiff (see the nice picture). Interesting is that the 20 year old at the same time he is sending hard boulders is training also endurance and is getting close on an old 9a project.
How is it possible to combine world class bouldering and projecting a long route at the same time?
"I think one of the most important thing in climbing is to have a good max power. It makes no sense to have endurance if you are not able to do the single moves in a route. So my training is also very focused on max power, and one day per week I try to climb some routes. Furthermore I do some longer boulders in the gym. I think to climb hard routes on the rock is more about getting used to the moves and try to find a good tactic. (c) Heidorn-Foto
