DRYTOOLING as a relatively new discipline is becoming an attractive option for young strong climbers. One of them is Dušan Janák aka Stoupa with whom we set off to the HÖNCENSTEINTAL valley in Dolomites on 17th February 2004.
Brief news from the Czech Cup of competition in bouldering in Breclav (the event was with international participation from Slovakia and Hungary):

Silva Rajfová, Czech girl from Brno was on Saturday the second in the competition of Slovakian Cup in bouldering which took place in Slovakian town Žilina. A Slovakian climber Andrej Chrastina well known from the Prague Boulder Bar was the 3rd.
The new curios climbing discipline "Double Climbing" was invented last year at a veteran competition Viagra Cup in city of Liberec (Northern Bohemia) and this year it should be organized as the first Czech Championship.

Stoupa was keen to climb FLY IN THE WIND (M10) and chose STILLE ERINNERUNGEN (M9-) to warm up at first. The latter took him two attempts to complete leaving FLY IN THE WIND for the next day.
Stoupa then literally trashed the route with his new GLADIATOR prototype tools from Raveltik until a trashed hold at the end of the roof stopped his efforts. Since there was not much energy left after that this, possibly M11, will have to wait till next time.
