The world champion of lead climbing, Tomas Mrazek, will be online for an interview (chat) here at Lezec.cz/Czechclimbing.com, on Tuesday December 20th 2005 from 3 pm.
The interview will be held in Czech only, but it is possible to put any question in English under this article beforehand, and they will be asked of him during the interview. Tomas will try to answer it and after the interview we will translate the core of the the interview itself.
I would like to ask Tomas how many WC climbers does he think, by percentage, pick their nose and eat it. I'm not talking about the ones who deny it, just some conjecture on how many do. So what's the scoop on who 'scoops'?
Is Adam Ondra to become the one who will do worlds first 9c? Or is there smbdy else, whos, you believe, capable of that;
as today the grades are not only climbed, but also "inflated", when you think smbdy will announce first 10a?
Which grade is to become the one, which will stop everyone, which must be beyond human ability, and how rockclimbing will develop after that?
Are you going to pay a visit to Crimea, Ukraine, you,probably, was asked this question in St. Leger this fall when meeting Krivosheitsev, Zilinskiy, and other climbers from Ukraine. So,...?
for you climbing is a sport which you love, or the sense of life? Why people love climbing, i.e. creating problems for themselves, whats the psychological background 4 that?
Tomas Mrazek´s answer in on line interview:
1./ I hope that Adam will be able to do it, who else.
2./ In my view, 9a+ is the highest grade feasible at the moment
3./ I hope to visit Crimea sometime next year. I heard a lot of positive things about it in St. Legere.
4./ Krivo is Michael Jacson (he will understand!).
