The first World Cup competition in bouldering to take place in the Czech Republic begins in a couple days. I would like to introduce to you to the construction and parameters of the bouldering walls, where the world best boulderers will test their skills.
Patxi Usobiaga (ESP) and Angela Eiter (AUT) won the World Cup competition in lead climbing in Valence (FRA) on 2/3 November 2007. The competition was without Czech participation, because the Czech lead climbing favorite Tomas Mrazek had some problems with his knee and did not start.
Markus Bock climbed a new very hard route in the Frankenjura. The route is in the Krottenseer Forst and an old project of Markus Windisch. Markus tried the route already since a few years.
The first part is an 9 moves long boulder in the grade 8b fb and then you have to climb a 11 moves long 8a route to the top. The hardest thing is to string the two parts together.
