Etickรก otรกzka - OS ฤi RP prelez 8c+ od Adama Ondru?
Adam Ondra preliezol v Margalefe Politicamente Corruptos 8c+ a zapรญsal si ho do dennรญฤka ako RP s komentรกrom: "Pred siedmimi rokmi som preliezol susednรฉ 8c+, ktorรฉ s touto cestou zdieฤพa ลกtart (viac-menej 7c+)... a keฤ sa na to detailne pozriem z etickรฉho hฤพadiska, je ลฅaลพkรฉ urฤiลฅ, ฤi to bol naozaj onsight.". Autor fotografie je Henning Wang a je z cesty Neanderthal 9b, ktorรก je Adamovรฝm projektom. Na zรกklade 8a sekcie o Etike a Sprรกvanรญ je v poriadku nazvaลฅ tento prelez OS a viacerรญ by tak spravili.

8c+ by Loic Zehani (16)

Loic Zehani, who did two 9a FAs last year, has done his sixth 8c+, Alien Carnage in Castillon in just six tries. Check the video. In the 8a ranking game the 15-year-old is #9.

Christof Rauch does two 8A's or harder every week
For the last three years Christof Rauch has been doing almost two 8A or harder Boulders every week, including 10 8B+'s just last year. To make it even more impressive, he works full time as an electrician and building technician on a water plant where he always has Fridays off. What is your drive going for so many hard Boulders instead of just projecting 8C's? Actually I try a lot of hard boulders at the 8B+ and 8C range but most of the time I try some slightly "easier" climbs as well. It's just frustrating for me when I climb nothing for a while. I would say that I have some really good substance. When I am on the rock I mostly climb for about 8h with a few breaks around 20-30 min. Basically I train 1 or 2 times a week in the gym after work and on the weekend I always climb outdoors for 2 times. For example the whole last year i had less than 10 gym sessions on the weekend. If you have no problem with a lot of driving and you're motivated enough you always find a dry spot. I have no specific way to choose my projects. I just try what looks cool and could suite me at least a little bit, then I decide if I keep trying it or put it to rest till I get stronger. Sometimes I do some specific preparation for my projects. For example when I have a project with a lot of underclings I try to built some similar boulders in the gym. But most of the time I just do some basic training with a little bit of fingerboarding and campusing. What about your stretching exercises? I do a lot of stretching for my arms and my legs every day but beside that I do some massage on my forearms and fingers cause of some chronical tendinitis/inflammation. After that I do a few stretching exercises for my fingers and wrist as well. Interview by Stefan Koechel from last December.
