Stefano Ghisolfi has, after some weeks and three rest days caused by rain and poor conditions, done his second 9b, First Round First Minute 9b in Margalef. (c) Paolo Sartori Photo "Dream route! First ascent by Chris Sharma in 2011 and than repeated by Adam Ondra and Alex Megos. One of the coolest line ever, I remember at the beginning every single move was super hard, and know everything is linked! Thanks Alex Megos for the belay and Sara for the support! video coming soon!"

Moritz Perwitzschky's (17) hot ascents
During the last two weeks Moritz Perwitzschky has done 20 Boulders graded 8A to 8B including the FA of Breaking Dad 8B in Frankenjura. "4 days of work and also broke out a hold but found a new one to make it possible, start of "Blutgeld", finish in "whoยดs the Daddy?", 13 hard moves in a row and really hard to link the last moves from the bottom, donยดt know how hard it is but 8b for sure..." Check out the Winter bouldering weekend video. In the Combined ranking game, the 17-year-old is #4. (c) Hannes Pablitschko "How to keep warm: Just take some warm clothes, a big down jacket, gloves and you are fine, don't forget some tea and biscuits. For keeping our Fingers warm we heat up some stones to put them in the calkbag which works quite well. Plans for 2017: I finished school last year and now taking one year off before studying for working and getting stronger. My plans are to travel to Rocklands in summer and focus more on bouldering than the previous years. Ambitions: One goal of mine is to try Action directe finally this year and hopefully send it and basically send a lot of hard and beautiful lines, both boulders and routes."

Railay climbing changed my life!
- Some 20 years ago, my friend invited me to climb at Railay and I had to try to show I was not a coward. Some years later I was a climbing instructor and as I improved and had done almost all routes at Tonsai I eas not one of the playboys but you know I am a man and I was very young and the Euro and American girls liked my six-pack. Back in the days I also tried some competitions but this was not for me and the same goes for comparing who did the most hard routes. I got a big ego and I did not like it. Climbing and eating is good for my head and then I go to sleep. The new climbing center is perfect for me and I think I will come here every evening to do some boulders. My plan is to get an international UIAA degree and to to more advanced courses. I know that the new generation climb scientifically and I would and the new boulder wall could make it possible but it will be just for myself to get back in shape. I do not want to start comparing myself again. I have a good life now and have changed my thinking. My Finnish girlfriend since four years did not know that I climbed hard until we had known each other for three months. Normally I do not speak but you keep asking questions and seems interested and it is always nice to meet and talk with other dedicated climbers, you open up :)" Sarut works at Real Rocks Climbing and the picture is from their new boulder wall integrated with shop in Ao'Nang where he hangs out most of the days. During high season he normally makes about 1 000 euro a month from his courses.
