Världens Bästa Manliga Klättrare Klara För La Sportiva Legends Only 2018 Jongwon Chon är en av världens bästa klättrare som deltar i La Sportiva Legends Only, Klättercentret Akalla 24 november 2018. Foto: Björn Pohl. 2018-11-06 07:30 CET Världens bästa manliga klättrare klara för La Sportiva Legends Only 2018 Startfältet i årets upplaga av La Sportiva Legends Only är imponerande och i år bjuds publiken på något alldeles extra. Klätterlegenden Chris Sharma tävlar i bouldering igen. Återigen lyckas arrangörerna locka världens främsta klättrare till Sverige och La Sportiva Legends Only. Förra året möttes världens bästa damer. I år är det dags för världens bästa herrar att utmana varandra. Bland deltagarna i La Sportiva Legends Only finns bland annat vinnaren av den totala världscupen i Bouldering 2018 Jernej Kruder. Dessutom vinnaren av Asian Games och regerande Legends vinnaren Jongwon Chon och Alex Megos som under året blev den 3:e klättraren någonsin att klättra 9b+. Och Chris Sharma. - Att Chris Sharma tävlar i bouldering igen är smått sensationellt. Alla deltagare är fenomenala klättrare, men att en av klätterhistoriens stora legender är tillbaka är fantastiskt. Jag vet att det kommer att bli fullsatt och lovar en otrolig stämning i Klättercentret Akalla när tävlingen drar igång, säger Björn Pohl, Klättercentret Stockholm. La Sportiva Legends Only är en boulderingtävling som är en av tre tävlingsdiscipliner inom klättring. Eftersom boulderproblemen under La Sportiva Legends Only presenteras i förväg får publiken en unik chans att både se de topprankade klättrarna träna på problemen innan tävlingen och se dem in action på klätterväggen i den tuffa tävlingen. Förra året introducerades ett nytt moment i tävlingen som innebar att ett av boulderproblemen presenteras först under tävlingen. - I år får det hemliga problemet en något större betydelse. Dessutom har vi en helt ny väggsektion och utvalda grepp som gör att det rent visuellt kommer att se bättre ut än någonsin. I övrigt gäller samma utmaning som alltid – att hitta exakt rätt nivå mellan ”näst intill möjligt” och ”omöjligt”, säger Björn Pohl, Klättercentret Stockholm. Line up La Sportiva Legends Only 2018: • Jernej Kruder, Slovenien • Jongwon Chon, Korea • Alex Megos, Tyskland • Chris Sharma, USA • Ray Sugimoto, Japan • Alexey Rubtsov, Ryssland Mer om de meriterade klättrarna som deltar i La Sportiva Legends Only 2018 hittar du här La Sportiva Legends Only 2018 genomförs den 24 november, Klättercentret Akalla. Tävlingsstart vid 19.00. Dörrarna öppnas klockan 17.00. Tävlingen arrangeras i samarbete med La Sportiva. La Sportiva distribueras i Sverige av C2 Vertical Safety.

FAKTA LA SPORTIVA LEGENDS ONLY La Sportiva Legends Only är en inbjudningstävling som enbart vänder sig till världens bästa klättrare. I La Sportiva Legends Only ställs världens bästa tävlingsklättrare mot världens bästa utomhusklättrare. Klättrarna tävlar i bouldering som är en av tre tävlingsdiscipliner inom klättring. La Sportiva Legends Only skiljer sig på flera sätt från tävlingarna vid VM och Världscupen. Ett par dagar innan själva tävlingen får klättrarna en chans att under ett par timmar träna på problemen. Ett tävlingsformat som gör att klättringen blir betydligt svårare och mer spektakulär. C2 Vertical Safety erbjuder utbildningar i säkert och effektivt arbete på hög höjd i sitt utbildningsprogram C2 Vertical Training. C2 Vertical Safety erbjuder även fallskydd, klätterutrustning, säkerhetsutrustning och personligt ljus till krävande specialister.

  • Adam Ondra Climbs the World's First 9C (5.15D)
    Adam Ondra Climbs the World’s First 9c (5.15d) Prague/Norway - Sep 4, 2017 – Yesterday, Adam Ondra, one of the best rock climbers in the world, made a little piece of climbing history. He finished his project in the Hanshelleren Cave, Flatanger, Norway and established the world’s first 9c route, currently the hardest and only route of this grade in the world. After succeeding at Dawn Wall last year when he repeated the route in a very fast time, the Czech climber Adam Ondra once again set new limits of rock climbing when he successfully sent his project of 9c route in the spectacular Hanshelleren Cave in Norway. Adam has not yet named the route though he has used the working title Project Hard on many occasions in the past. He bolted the route in 2013 and focused on it last year and also this year’s entire season. He made seven trips to Norway and in total spent months there. Also he trained specifically for the project since the beginning of this year and worked closely with a physiotherapist Klaus Isele who helped him to prepare for the very specific moves. All that came together in 20 minutes of super intense climbing at the end of which stands the hardest route in the world and a new scope of what can be achieved in rock climbing. Adam Ondra about sending 9c (5.15d): „In the morning it felt like every other day on the Project. It was hot, but the air was crystal clear and dry. But I felt very little pressure and lot of psyche.

The concept of climbing a rock face, not necessarily reaching the top of the mountain, was a foreign concept that seemed trivial by comparison. However, by the late 1800s, rock climbing began to evolve into its very own sport. There are 3 areas credited as the birthplace of rock climbing: 1.

It was big news, for it was an unprecedented grade – and a route that would stand the test of time and see only 4 repeats in the next 14 years.

The line had been a project of local Milan Sykora – though his vision was of a slightly different path up the same radically overhanging bulge. Gullich set to work on the project but chose instead to take a direct finish straight through the business. To do this, he specifically trained 1-finger pockets, but more importantly started a campus boarding regime that up until then, was unheard of. To train for the route, Gullich (amongst other exercises) trained plyometrics – specifi- cally on one-finger first joint edges. This involved dropping down and catching his weight using one-finger of each hand – then springing back up to the next rung. Clearly this type of training helped him, because he went on to climb the route over a period of 8 days (spread over a significantly longer period).
