Czech Republic Youth Championship 2014

4.10. was held Czech Rebublic youth championship on Bigwall. We were participating on setting competition routes for 3 days.
After comp, I was together with Viktor Pařízek setting around 30 new routes and in the end of the week we again resetting boulder wall.

Last month

Between 25.8. - 31.8. I was participating on building competition climbing profiles and setting with Tom Doubravský for 4th round of Czech cup in bouldering. Due to quite small a thiny climbing profiles and almost absence structures we were forced to set quite old school boulders founded on basic finger strenght. 

Unfortunately boulders, primarily in women final,  were too hard and too complicated. It was our mistake and only thing we can do is try better next time.

Title of this article is a acronym for high school in the Lesser town in Prague, near Charles bridge. Last week I have been working there for three days, firstly I removed old routes ( there were for three years), cleaned holds and then set 10 new routes - in difficulty scale between 3 - 6b. Then I reset small boulder and made small  construction for fingerboard.
I would like to thank  teachers and headmaster of "Malgym" for their support of climbing as "normal" sport activity.

Last week

Last Thursday I was approached by Honza Zbranek, because he had no time to set one training route for Czech junior representation on their training camp in climbing centre Smichoff. Due absence greater number of holds I set direct, hard hitting 8a+  route, which gradate in the end. I hope, that the representatives enjoyed this route.
In Monday I was again setting on Bigwall - 12 boulder were set, between 5 - 7C.
In Tuesday and  Wednesday we were setting with Olin in Boulder Bar and 40 boulders were done.

Big Wall Open 2014

After arriving from Austria, we have been participating on comp Big Wall Open. It was something like end of winter league with one qualification day, where was 10 qualification routes between 4 - 7c+. Second day were semifinals and finals, where started climbers, who climbed best first day + climbers, which were winners winter one month comps + Adam Ondra.

In semifinals we prepaired 7b+ for women and 7c+ for man. In this round was quite big scattering efficiency between climbers, so routes were starting around 6c and slowly gradate. In women category was achieved one top and two tops in men.
