Sending some projects


Now when school is over I had some time to finish some of my projects.

So last week I sent pumpy route Katakombe 8b+ in Kotečnik which I was trying some time last year. It felt really easy on sending try.

Few days later I went to Paklenica to do some bouldering, did 7c By the way in few tries which was hardest boulder in Paklenica until then. After it I went to try a long time boulder project at the entrance of park which always caught my eye when passing by because it's on the road so everyone notices it when going in canyon. I really wanted to see if it's possible for me. I realised it's actually beautiful boulder.  It has 2 power moves and easy top-out and is actually quite high, about 6 metres. After studying it that evening I managed to send it next morning with good friction and graded it 8a. I named it Corona because it is really nice and it kinda crowns all of the boulders in Paklenica. I'm glad I also did significant boulder achievement in Paklenica together with Maratoneta.

Same week I went to Pokojec to finally do  Kill Bill 8b which is pretty tricky route with few moves which are kind of lucky because you need to hit a pocket nicely. First time ever I managed to do the crux, and I was really happy I'm gonna send the route and then big foothold broke under my foot and I slipped off. Next try I didn't do it and my fingers began to hurt me because of the pocket, but as usual in last try of the day I sent it. It's 3rd ascent of this route for now.

Soon boulder competitions are starting for me, hoping to be strong.
