Martin Stráník, summer boulder trip

107511At the turn of July and August 2014 SINGING ROCK boulderist Martin Stráník made a trip to Switzerland and Austria where he sent various hard boulders.

Before leaving, Martin sent two hard routes in Czech Republic, Lebka se zkříženými hnáty 8A+ (Tisá skála u Čáslavi) and Srdečné objetí 8A/8A+ (Loučovice), and after that he could go abroad with composure.

In Switzerland Martin visited nice bouldering locations Magic Wood, Chironico and Sustenpass and in Austria he climbed in Hirschwände and Merkenstein. The most valuable scalp of the whole trip is Never Ending Story 8B+ (Magic Wood) followed by Boogalagga 8B (Chironico), Kein Schneehänsen 8B (Sustenpass), Leiwand 8B (Hirschwände) and others. The full list of all routes climbed during the trip you can find on Martin´s profile on 8a.nu (records from 14-07-20 to 14-08-15). Look at pictures and videos on Martin´s blog.

That's what we called the active vacation!
