Last saturday i was able to send “Nikita” 8c at my homecrag. This route has always been something mythical to me as it’s the hardest route in Berdorf and doesn’t has so many repeats. The route has been bolted by Jacques Welter in 1992 and it took 20 years before the german climber Simon Plum was able to do the first ascent. Since then the route got a few more repeats from climbers like Jonas Winter ,Luis Gerhardt and Jan Hojer (and some more). I started trying this route last year but couldn’t finish it before the seasons end and i didn’t try during the whole winter. This year i only tried it a few times before i did the send! Giving it the first Lux. ascent and with it ,becoming the first climber from Lux. to climb this grade! I’m gratefull that i could share this moment with some of my friends at the crag and for all the support that i got from my friends and sponsors! Thank you guys! @petzl_official @lasportivagram @caspers_climbing_shop @thaluswater A video of the send will come soon , so stay tuned!
Realy enjoyed the moves in “Isatis” and “la part de l'autre” which have been my highlights last week. The main crux of both routes is the slab for the last 7 meters. The pics show me on the good rest just before the slab-part and doing the first move to enter the crux by pulling on a very nice mono-pocket… after this move you have to pull and stand on some very small crimps and feet ,quite similar to Fontainebleau.
I haven’t been so much on social media lately but that doesn’t mean i wasn’t active. I went to the franconian forest for a short trip at the begining of this year and did some nice medium-hard problems but couldn’t finish my little project as i got two big flappers and the tophold was completely frozen. I did this little edit of just a few boulders that i climbed. You can watch it on my Youtube-chanel. I hope you enjoy; https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=g8BWacP26kw&t=37s
Tb to last autumn when i climbed “Remoise” a route which doesn’t gets many repeats due to a hard boulder-crux on the start. I can’t train since over a month as i have a little finger injury I hope that it recovers fast enough and that i didn’t lose to much strength so i can still achieve my goals for this year.
I’m happy to announce my collaboration with@thaluswater. I think we all need to hydrate regularly, so we should do it in an environment friendly way… ThalusWater uses plastic free boxes which are easy to recycle and to refill, so you might take a look on them This shot is from last summers short trip to Briançon.

This one is from two weeks ago in the franconian forest. I’ve spent a week of bouldering in this area which is actually known for mostly short and powerfull sportclimbing . I’ll get back there next year to do some sportclimbing again, this time it was just to cold to keep my toes warm for more than two minutes boulder: “Medium” photo by @anselmgeimer
