IFSC has published the Olympic format and it is more or less a copy of the format 8a suggested last year. Already in November, IFSC said that they will take, "note of your proposal and will consider it while preparing the format proposal for the Executive Board." "Rules perspective: a. The Combined Event consists of 2 rounds (Qualifications and Finals), both comprising all the disciplines. b. All Athletes (20 men and 20 women) participate in the first round. c. The Athleteโ€™s score is given by multiplying the Athleteโ€™s ranking (place) in each discipline. The lower the score the better. (Principles to be confirmed) A ranking is produced after each round (Qualifications and the Finals). a. The six best Athletes qualify for the Finals. Note: For the Speed Final the concept of โ€œLucky loserโ€ (7ยฐ and 8ยฐ ranked Athletes in the 1/8th finals) applies, as a quota of 6 does not allow the duel system. The 8a suggested format differs as we included 8 guys in the final in order to have a fair Speed Climbing Final. How IFSC plan to let only the Top-6 climbers compete in Speed with two "Lucky loser" have not been explained. It should be mentioned that previously IFSC had suggested a totally different format which was heavily criticized by the coaches. The qualification system will follow the IOC principles which will be set in July. However, it will be based on Athletes and not countries but only two athletes male + female will be allowed. In regards to which type of Speed route will be used in the Olympics, no news has been forwarded but we have been informed that it was up to discussion and IFSC said that there is not enough time to change it.

Ninja Skills 8B+ by Thilo Jeldrik Schrรถter
Thilo Jeldrik Schrรถter has done Ninja Skills 8B+ in Sobrio. All eight repeaters, in the 8a database, of this Nalle Hukkataival problem have given it three stars. The 21 year old has also flashed two 8A's and Ganymede Takeover 8A+ in Brione and he is #9 in the 8a ranking game. (c) Tina Hafsaas "I had four sessions on the boulder. For me it's one of the best boulders out there, both climbing wise and esthetically. Happy to get it done!"

Tendon Master Pro 9.2 best handling vs safety
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. 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. 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."

The easiest way to boost your power is done through hyper-ventilation. Try it out during your next campus board session and you will get amazed. During climbing it works best coming out from a good rest, where you have focused on long and slow yoga breathing. This actually make you loose power so if there is a crux coming up, hyper-ventilate to reload and boost your power. The second way to increase your power in one second is done through focusing on the hand you are not moving. If you are up for a dynamic move, it seems like your eager and focus on the next hold, make you loose some gripping hand power. Experiment to actually look at the holding hand and feel that you get stronger while trying to reach upwards. You can also ask your friends to remind you to focus on the gripping hand while climbing. It works best on pinches and side pulls. For closed crimps, for experts, you should simply ask your friend to remind you to focus on the thumb closure to boost your power during the next second.
