Czech reps incl Adam Ondra and Tomas Mrazek are going to Osp
The Czech national team is going on a climbing trip to Osp, Slovenia next week. The most powerful set is to go: Adam Ondra, Tomas Mrazek, Martin Stranik, Rosta Stefanek and Silva Rajfova.
Updated date!!! Look out! The date of the taking place of PADani - the outdoor bouldering competition in Petrohrad, CZ, has been changed to 26th of April 2008. The organizers announced the news.
Czech boy wonder, Adam Ondra (15 years old), was the most successful climber in the annual award The Ascent of the Year 2007 by Czech Mountaineering Union, which was presented today at a press conference in Prague.
On Easter Adam Ondra went bouldering in Cresciano and Chironica. His collection from only 4 days is unbelievable.
Only 4 hours were enough to climb the legendary boulder problem Dreamtime 8B+ (Cresciano). He tried the boulder first from the stand start (8A+), and he did it on his 5th attempt. Then Dreamtime from sit start 8B+ came on the row. In the first attempts he had troubles to catch correctly the hold you jump to, but when he held it, he toped the problem.
Then he continued in climbs like on endless-belt: flashed Dr. Jump 8A+ and Kirk Windstein 8A+, Confession Of Scrap Artist 8A OS.
The rest of Adams sends are visible in his diary. It would have taken another paragraph :)
