Zan Lovenjak Sudar ticks first 9a

Zan Lovenjak Sudar, who was #23 in the world championship in 2023, has sent Sanjski par extension (9a) in Miลกja Peฤ.

Can you tell us more about the ascent?
After figuring out the method there was a hold brake in the middle of the route making a knee-bar rest impossible and clipping position much harder. After some generous work by Zbizi reinforcing the part of the hold that was left and replacing some old bolts it took me 5 sessions to finish it off. So 7 sessions in total.

Can you say something about your climbing background?
My climbing background is mostly doing IFSC comps up to 2025, after becoming a dad I am mostly challenging my climbing on rock and specifically training for outdoor projects.

And if I can add something I would please climbers to not climb on wet rock especially tufas. (Reason for hold break in Sanjski par). Be patient and wait for good conditions.
