Bouldering Diary

After a few months of training where I have been focusing on bouldering I thought it would be nice to visit one of the top bouldering spots in the world. Chironico. This was basically my first bouldering trip, all my previous trips have been rope climbing trips.

So I found two beginners from my climbing wall and off we went!!!

Our trip was too short, we only had four days, without a car and the village where we stayed was 15 km away from Chironico so the first day we just went to look at some of the problems since it was getting dark.

On day two we were psyched to finally start climbing. We woke up early, to jump on the first bus... But we ended up taking the second bus... Finally we arrived in Chironico to go bouldering!!!

Yesterday, April 14th 2012, the Austrian Bouldering Nationals were held in Kitzbühel,Tirol. This year I decided to take a break of the comp scene because I am doing my diploma at Uni besides working half time so there would not be much room and time

A very, very good gritstone boulder problem! I could leave it there but I will expand upon that sentence a little. This bloc is at a craglet by the name of Brandrith in North Yorkshire; it was climbed by Dave Sutcliffe a good few years ago now but seems

On returning from Spain I felt fairly strong and hungry for some more success. I kept thinking about a project arête roof that I had been shown down at Cloughton Wyke. It was a great looking line with brutal tricky deadpoint slap moves on slopes

"No Mystery" (low) in Chironico (FA afte the broken crux-crimp) "No Mystery" located in Chironico (Swizzy) is a nice littel overhanging shild first climbed by Dave Graham back in time. It has two nice intro-moves that set you up to a big deadpoint-move
