There is no better tram ride in Prague than that which carries me to the bus station on Friday afternoons. Hopefully the sun is shining and there is a cool breeze. If not all is not lost: the weather a couple of hundred kilometers to the west can be completely different. I relax from the week’s work, and look forward to a weekend spent with good friends in that climber’s playground which is the Frankenjura.
According to unofficial information, the Italian film "The Conquest of K2" won the grand prize at the 22nd International Mountaineering Film Festival (also known as Festak) which took place in Teplice nad Metuji (Northern Bohemia) 25-28 August 2005.
The honoured guest of the festival Leo Houlding, climbing ace from UK, told me today on my way out from nearby Adrspach Rocks.
Our original target was the granite of Salbitchijen in the Swiss valley above the town of Göschenen. Although Salbitchijen did not make it to the menu in the end due to bad weather we did get something done and would like to share it with you. Perhaps it will inspire some of you to visit the area.
Today (July 5th) Věra Kotasová (CZ) won 3rd place at the World Championship of bouldering in Munich. Tomáš Mrázek (CZ) put in a fine performance and ended 9th in bouldering along with his title in difficulty.
Tomáš Mrázek won the World Championship and is again World Champion! It is according to the final results of the Chamionship. He sent the final route and was 1st in front of Patxi Usobiaga (2nd,ESP) and Alexandre Chabot (3rd,FRA), who both also sent the finals route, but had worse results from the semifinals. Ramon Julian (ESP), who was the best in semifinals, was not on the finals starting list?? Check out
