Tendon Master Pro 9.2: najlepลกia manimulรกcia a bezpeฤnosลฅ pri istenรญ
Tendon Master Pro 9.2 is the best rope we have ever tested when it comes to feeling secure with the old GriGri at the same time you can feed out as fast as you want. As it never gets stuck, it becomes safer in comparison to other thin ropes because you do not need to push down the locking mechanism. Tendon Master Pro 9.2 je z hฤพadiska bezpeฤnosti pri istenรญ so starรฝm GriGri najlepลกรญm lanom, akรฉ sme kedy testovali. Zรกroveลˆ je s nรญm vลกak moลพnรฉ lano naberaลฅ tak rรฝchlo. Keฤลพe sa nikdy nezasekรกva je bezpeฤnejลกie v porovnanรญ s ostatnรฝmi tenkรฝmi lanami, lebo istiฤ nemusรญ pri rรฝchlom naberanรญ zatlaฤiลฅ zรกmkovรฝ mechanizmus. The GriGri is supposed to be used for ropes 10 mm or thicker but we have all experimented with smaller diameter to get better handling. The trade off between safety and handling has actually sometimes created ground falls. Normally, I am a bit afraid to let my wife or other not so experienced climber belay me with 9.2 millimeter rope, as normally such thin ropes do not lock 100 % before it has been used for some days. GriGri by sa malo pouลพรญvaลฅ na lรกna 10mm a hrubลกie, no vลกetci sme v nejakom bode experimentovali s tenลกรญmi lanami, s ktorรฝmi sa lepลกie manipuluje. Tento kompromis medzi pohodlรญm a bezpeฤnosลฅou vลกak v niekoฤพkรฝch prรญpadoch dopadol pรกdom na zem. Zvyฤajne sa trochu bojรญm nechaลฅ moju ลพenu alebo niekoho menej skรบsenรฉho istiลฅ ma na 9.2mm lane, lebo pri takรฝchto tenkรฝch lanรกch sa GriGri zvyฤajne nezablokuje na 100%, pokiaฤพ uลพ nebolo niekoฤพko dnรญ pouลพรญvanรฉ. We actually had to ask Tendon if they could come up with an answer why it never gets stuck when feeding out at the same time it always lock. "There is a new type of sheath which combines classic tandem and SBS system of braiding. Very smooth and great rope handling is the result." Tendonu sme sa spรฝtali, ฤi nรกm vedia vysvetliลฅ, ako je moลพnรฉ, ลพe sa ich lano nezasekรกva pri naberanรญ a zรกroveลˆ sa vลพdy pri pรกde zasekne.

Shauna and Leah explore California
Five Ten presents an interesting interview with the training buddies Shauna Coxsey and Leah Crane who have just returned from a training trip in California. They also bouldered in Joshua Tree for few days. "Leah: โ€œThe purpose of the trip was to go on a two week training camp to solely focus on training in preparation for our upcoming 2017 Bouldering World Cup season. Being in dedicated training environment means there's no distractions. You're there to train. We chose America as the US has a very particular setting style at indoor gyms which we don't really get to experience in the UK and the hold selection is very different. Being in California also meant we could visit HQ in person, meet with the footwear designers and discuss future product, current product development and get an understanding of how things are run stateside.โ€ Shauna: โ€œWith just a few months to go until the start of the 2017 World Cup season training is in full swing. We were working on many different aspects and training twice a day on most days covering everything finger strength, upper body strength, core strength, leg strength, fitness both on and off the wall and also climbing hard boulders and making up climbs and jumps too.โ€

We have ranked 12 strategical and practical short cuts in order to push grades. Most climbers focus on strength, i.e. in comparison it is easier to develop technical, tactical and mental skills, which are the focus here.

Margo Hayes La Rambla interview
Eddie Fowke from The Circuit Climbing was together with Margo Hayes the first days she tried La Rambla and has got an interview. What is interesting is that she will be based in France until October and plans to do most World Cups. Here you can check Margo Hayes 8ascorecard including 91 ascents previously up to 9a. In bouldering the 19 year old has recorded three 8A's, the first when she was 13 years old. Last year she won three golds in the Youth World Championships.

IFSC is about to take decision in regards to the Olympic format this weekend and here are the 8a thoughts which focus on the following: that the Speed route should vary, be steeper and include four lanes. 1. The Speed world record holder, Danyl Boldyrev, has told 8a he thinks the fixed route is boring. 2. There are only a dozen certified world record walls in the world 3. The Paris World Championship wall did not get certified 4. Most potential athletes live many hours from nearest Speed wall 5. Gym owners do not want rebuild their walls 6. We should not make kids (slow) speed climbing robots 7. Six second spectacle is too little On the other side, the current 6b+ route is too difficult for the youngest athletes and in fact harder for shorter kids. Even in world champions, runs over 15 seconds are normal and the fixed route setting excludes the average young climber to speed climb. In some countries they have actually added holds in order to let the youngest reach the top. IOC has said that the best must participate and ultimately, if we will make it to the 2024, Ondra needs to participate. A steeper route is longer, looks more impressive and is less about leg muscles. It will also need less invested time for Ondra etc to get a high level which makes him more interested to participate. Solution 10 - 18 meters high 0 - 4 meters overhanging 7a difficulty down to 5a for kids Up to 10 meters (four lanes) wide Normal route setting In regards the Combined format, 8a suggest that first all 20 athletes will do one run of Lead, Boulder and Speed. Then calculate the Top-8 and do one more run. As an option, the Top-4 can then compete with semi and finals in a Duel to decide the podium. Adam Ondra has said he thinks the 8a Olympic solution is "reasonable in terms of fairness" besides the Duel.

The Olympic 2020 has not been set yet and most have not yet decided if they want to go for the big Tokyo challenge. Anyhow, here is a prediction of Top-6. What we should bare in mind is that it will be very hard for any 25+ climber to adopt to the new Speed technique. Accordingly, many youngsters have been listed. 1. Janja Garnbret SLO - Adam Ondra CZE 2. Ashima Shiraishi USA - Sean McColl CAN 3. Margo Hayes USA - Domen Skofic SLO 4. Elena Krasovskaia RUS - Jakob Schubert AUT 5. Brooke Raboutou - Kokora Fujii JPN 6. Akiyo Noguchi JPN - Tomoa Narasaki JPN

9a and 8C by Jernej Kruder
Jernej Kruder has taken some days off from his training preparation for the Boulder WC and done Catalan Witness the Fitness 8C and Bi Herre, Borroka Bat 9a in La Cueva de l'ocell. (c) Greg Mionske "It was unbelievable! Doing a 9a route and 8C boulder in two days is just something wonderful." The Slovenian, is one of the best multi-discipline climbers in the world and he is #2 in the 8a combined ranking game. In 2014, he was #2 in the Boulder World Champion and last year he did Es Pontas 9a+, beside also doing hard core MPs. "My training program is simple and it only contains power endurance, mainly 15 moves circles. I just enjoy climbing....I don't bother with my goals too much...so I'm just working on my power endurance which I think it gives me the best progression."
