Uznik brothers flash 8B, FA's 8B+ and Nico FA's 8C+

Timo Užnik, who has won five Euro Youth Cups, has flashed Stairway to heaven Level 2 (8B) in Kamniska Bistrica. He got the beta from his big brother, Nicolai Užnik, who flashed it one month ago. Nicolai, who was #5 in the World Championship and did the FA of Mount Doom (9A) in March, has now added a lower start, Stairway to hell (8C).

”(One move intro) first move is the crux and one of the hardest single moves I’ve done! Something between 8C and 8C+, not sure if it‘s enough for the + though. 8C/+ maybe ? Hard to grade since I don‘t have much experience on limestone and it’s always tricky estimating the grade of single moves… time will tell! awesome line. Thanks to Urh and co. for preparing everything!!”

In the video, they make the FA of Airbag (8B+) and Nicolai comments, "Five star line!! Took a while brushing the pretty high topout and figuring out the moves - around 8B+! Fun day + brotherly send train with Timo ;)"

How come you are not doing the World Cups this year?
After last season, I decided that this year I‘m gonna skip a few comps to have time again for outdoor projects and finally be mentally fully ready for the competitions. I will be competing again soon, though, with the World Cup in Prague, Bern and Innsbruck coming up next month!
