Water world 9a by Matjaz Zorko

Matjaz Zorko has done Klemen Becan's in Osp - Banje in Babna. "Very nice, took me about 20 tries. For me easier than Halupca (9a). I guess climbing on tufas in big caves really suits me. I didn’t spend much time in Osp since I climbed Halupca, also because in spring I wanted to finish multipitch Spomin in Paklenica. I can say that Waterworld is more my style than Halupca because it's more about endurance and not that bouldery." Halupca was his first 9a which the 29-yer-old did in January.

How can you explain being a late bloomer?
In the last few years I managed to organize my life and work so that I can climb more outside. Also I feel the mindset is here and that is the key 😊.

What are your summer plans?
Well now in summer we are planning to go back to Bosnia with my girlfriend. Because there seems to be a lot of potential to develop new climbing areas with hard routes, but lets see what happens in the summer. For sure it will be full of climbing.
