Vergangene Woche stand viel auf dem Programm! Wir durften endlich die Wettkampfsaison 2017 mit einem Trainingscircuit an der Wettkampfwand der Boulderwelt München Ost starten. Das Besondere: Weltklasse-Routenschrauber Tonde Katiyo war im Hause und hat zusammen mit dem festen Boulderwelt-Schrauberteam 8 Wettkampfboulder an die Wettkampfwand gezaubert! Endlich mal unter echten Bedingungen testen, ob sich das Wintertraining schon ausgezahlt hat!…
After a long and demanding season of Bouldering World Cups, European Youth Cups and other competitions it was finally time for the last one, and one of the most important ones too: My last World Youth Championship in Guangzhou, China. As climbing just got into the Olympics and I wanted to test myself in a similar overall rating, I decided to compete in all three disciplines lead, bouldering and speed!
Qualifications went really good but it was so exhausting and I barely made it threw.I flashed the first Boulder which had a really cool triple jump finishing with a hard slab. I could also do the next two boulders in each three attempts, but I got really pumped from the pinches and slopers. I couldn’t even open a bottle of water…
I was really happy when I saw that the second boulder was a slab, which I was super comfortable with. I just stayed really calm and could secure myself a flash 😀
After a 9 hour drive we finally arrived in L’Argentière-la-Bessée, where the last EYC of the year and my last EYC ever took place. As in the years before it was super hot in l’Argentière, but luckily my qualification started at 6 PM, or even later due to some rain, and so the temps were…
I did the first boulder in just two tries, and I knew it was not a boulder that many athletes can do (In the end it had four ascents).
