Tomas Mrazek is after injury back in great shape. He has just climbed his hard project „Xaxid Hostel“ 9a+ in Osp. The  45 meter long route leads  in the midle of Misja Pec, next to the route JSFK 7c+. Tomáš has tried it occasionally for last four years. He sent it on his twentieth  attempts.

The route has two pitches. The first part  is 20 meters long and  the difficulty goes to 9a or 8c+/9a minimally.  The crux has  six moves with small gripes and bad footholds. Tomas grades the boulder 8B. Then comes part (25 meters long) common with Ekstaza,  8c+/9a climbed by Matej Sova. Tomas grades  this endurance climbing on small crimps, sideholds and undeclings  like an  easier 8c+. So 9a with 8c+ without no hand rest in the middle is 9a+. Tomas is waiting for other climbers to confirm the grade. He is happy to be  back in the game!
