What’s his secret

Climb as much as you can, as often as you can.  Sport climbing is not as hard on the body as bouldering, so get out, move the body around, get the blood flowing, get pumped, have fun, be nice to your fellow climbers and be thankful that you have the ability to do this.  If you have a local crag, be thankful for that too, some people live in Kansas you know.

Herculane Climbing Open 2012

Mai multe detalii pe site-ul organizatorilor: Alternative TM

Herculane Climbing Open marcheaza in 2012,  11 ani de existenta si de dezvoltare a escaladei in Valea Cernei. Dupa primele 10 editii eram tematori ca totul se va incheia din lipsa de entuziasm din partea noastra, dar iata ca am gasit resursele necesare in cadrul clubului pentru a continua si cu a 11-a editie. Am gasit motivatia in interesul vostru, al comunitatii din Romania, pentru eveniment, in intrebarile venite din tari straine referitor la HCO, in sprijinul sponsorilor traditionali care ne-au abordat din proprie intitativa si binenteles in ideea ca vom avea dupa concurs un rand de trasee in plus in Herculane pe care sa ne cataram de acuma incolo.

Urban Climber – Adam Ondra Interview

On March 27, in the Spanish hotspot Oliana, Czech wonderboy Adam Ondra did the first ascent of Chaxi Raxi (5.15b) and roughly one hour later onsighted Blanquita—in his own words the hardest of the five 5.14c onsights he had collected within three weeks, plus another first ascent of a 5.15a. When I arrive at 11 a.m. at the boulders of Petrohrad in western Czech Republic, Adam, now 18 years old, is trying a project he thinks to be V15. Early in the morning, he had started the three-hour drive to Petrohrad from his hometown, Brno, together with his father, Miroslav; his sister Kristyna; his girlfriend, Inka; and 14-year-old 5.13d climber Zdenek Ustohal.
