I have personally had the pleasure of watching Wolfgang Güllich in 1982, making a flash try on an unclimbed French project in Le Saussois: About 5m flat roof on nothing but one and two-finger pockets, where he would be doing levitation moves all the way past the lip and onto the headwall. The headwall was were he finally fell because he failed to find a crucial pocket.

Magnus, you honestly don't seem out of place training with one of the world's greatest climbers, which says a lot. I know people are requesting this all the time, but you really should give competing another chance.

@clarence-theregularcat7708 23 күн бұрын

i think there is much more to it then matching the strentgh of other climbers. With people fully dedicating their lives to competition it would be a struggle getting past semi-finals and deal with all the stress of a competition with price money that is out of reach and does barely cover flights when you can enjoy climbing around the world and promote the sport on terms that are the most fun.
