Klättercentret in Stocholm, famous for all their big competitions, invites the world to try out their big project route. The first one to top it out gets 5 000 euro and it will increase with 1 000 euro per year. Furthermore, the one with the highest score after each year will get 1 000 euro. The event will kick off on February 19th with several invited celebrities. "The Project will be made up of ~5 move boulder sections which get increasingly harder all the way to the top, starting with ~6A and ending with a mighty ~8C at the top. We will also mark approximate grades along the way, making it possible to measure you're progress in numbers as well. As the route is permanent it will now for the first time in climbing history be possible to have a World record which everyone can try to beat. There will of course be possible to have all sorts of records based on countries, regions, cities, gender, age and so on."

Klättercentret vo švédskom Štokholme, kde sa zvyčajne organizujú najväčšie preteky v krajine, pozýva borcov zo všetkých končín na vyskúšanie mega Projektu. Prvý prelezca tejto cesty dostane prémiu 5000€ a táto suma sa každým rokom, čo cesta zostane projektom, navýši o ďalších 1000€. Jednotlivé sekcie budú obodované a lezec, ktorý sa na konci roka dostane najvyššie získa odmenu 1000€. Súťaž odštartuje devätnásteho februára a na podujatie je pozvaných niekoľko lezeckých celebrít. Projekt je zložených z niekoľkých bouldrov o cca piatich krokoch, ktorých obtiažnosť sa postupne zvyšuje. Začína sa na ~6A a celá cesta končí parádnym ~8C. Jednotlivé sekcie cesty chceme ohodnotiť, takže si každý bude môcť približne zmerať, kam sa dostal. Keďže cesta bude na stene nastálo, bude to po prvý raz v lezeckej histórii kedy sa bude na vytrvalostnej ceste môcť určiť svetový rekord a každý sa môže pokúsiť ho zdolať. Takisto sa však otvárajú možnosti aj pre rôzne ďalšie rekordy a štatistiky, napr. na základe krajiny, regiónu, pohlavia, veku atď." Tento inovatívny nápad je jednoznačne dobrým zviditeľnením Klättercentretu a mohol by mať potenciál aj na iných stenách. Páči sa Ti takáto myšlienka? Myslíš, že by sa mohla ujať aj v niektorej zo slovenských hál? Daj vedieť v komentároch!

Silvio Reffo has done his tenth 9a, Thunder ribes in Arco. "I did the second ascent after Stefano Ghisolfi. Another hard connection in Pueblo of Massone. It was a big surprise because I was there only for endurance training after some weeks of power training."

Choong Katherine has done two 8c's in Oliana, Fish Eye and Mind Control, each of which took her four days of trying. The latter was originally an 8c+ but nowadays it is mostly considered an 8c, upon which also Katherine agrees. " I did it quite fast, when I solved the begining (the crux for me) I send it the same day. So maybe it's more 8c. But the style is really for me, no hard move juste endurance. However it was 50 meters of fight that ended with lot of happiness and good energy" She finished off by onsighting Mon Dieu 8a+, also in Oliana. "I travel until end of march between France and Spain for rockclimbing. Then I come back in Switzerland for training and back to work (I finished university in January 2016 and started internship to become lawyer). I will compete most of the world cup I can."
