8c+ (9a) dla Thilo Jeldrika Schrötera (20)
Thilo Jeldrik Schröter, który właśnie skończył 20 lat, przez wiele lat był odnoszącym sukcesy boulderowcem; zajął 4. miejsce w młodzieżowych mistrzostwach Europy. Teraz spędził kilka tygodni w Siuranie i okazuje się, że ma także talent do prowadzenia - właśnie podniósł swój osobisty rekord z 8b na 8c+ - uważane przez niektórych za 9a - Jungle Speed.

"Pracowałem nad tą drogą przez pięć dni. Składa się ona z bouldera na początku, który może mieć jakieś 8A+ i prowadzi do miejsca, gdzie można zrobić sobie rest. Stamtąd mamy techniczny kawałek za około 8a+, ciągnący się do samego topu, który dla mnie był cruxem - spadłem trzy razy zanim udało mi się to skończyć. Niewielu, którym udaje się zrobić początek, odpada na końcu, dlatego myślę, że linia nie będzie zrobiona póki nie pokona jej boulderowiec, nawet jeśli pojedyncze ruchy wydają się proste."
