what a day...

I WAS THERE!!! after the send of "no mystery (low) " i took two restdays and felt great when i was back at the fisch-project! but somehow i overgripped and i failed again and again on the 3rd and hardest move, pulling my body to high and loosing my heel. angela then convinced me to stop and try again the day after.

the move i went down and down and down and down....
the next day started nice with angela climbing strong and with her friend nastya beeing super psyched and climbing nonstop on her first day outdoorclimbing ever.

berti (check out his sound!!!) joined in as well and it was great to see and climb with him again after we have not seen each other for nearly a year. it was just great to see everybody with a smile on their face while "jumping" from boulder to boulder...

arriving at the "fisch" later in the afternoon i met nicolas and later dai and ikkuko joined in as well. all day long it was a lot of positive vibes in the air and i was super relaxed. i was 99% sure i would not have had a chance to come through the super hart startsequence as on a "second day" i normally can climb 6B not more... but as i was bit tired, my body was lower, therefore i had pressure on my heel and the heel stayed. thats what i like (and hate) so much about the "fisch"-project. its just NOT all about power ;)

left hand on the good crimp - thats it i thought - but my right feet was some 2cm too low for the foothold i NEED to rock over...

i had a hell of a fight and made it to the mantel - went dynamic for the mantelmove - and I WAS THERE!!! BUT i missed a "blind" foothold by about 2cm... and went down on the slap-move out right... the last move before your rock over into a no hand...


und tschüss....

but unlike 3weeks ago when my hand slipped on the mantel-move i did not got mad at all - i am already over that point - and as it was just a great day with good friends - i just kept smiling...

to finish that great day we then went down for PIZZA to giornico. dai and ikuko showed us the footage of dai's low-down send of STOTWO... and its INSANE!!! its one of the most amazing bouldering-things i have ever seen. and when you know how bad that holds are you can't believe what dai's is doing there - its just against any physics... WAY TOO STRONG and nice that guy... ;))

watching dai's footage of his ascent of "storyoftwoworlds (low)" - on of the most CRAZY things i have ever seen!!!
