adidas rockstars !!


After 3 weeks spent more or less around Céüse (even if it was more about training for the last competition than rockclimbing), I moved direction Germany !

First stop near nuremberg for a training cession at Café kraft with the five ten team. I was really happy to met the people from the gym and have the chance to climb in this nice gym, influenced by the master, Wolfgang Güllich ! By the way, they have the better cappuccino I have ever drunk ! Come soon a little video about the day !

Then direction Stuttgart to take part of one of the best competition of the year, Adidas Rockstars ! The only competition where climbing meet rock stars and where you can dance on the wall ! This year was specially a great success for the event (not for me in the competition unfortunetly...) ! That took place in Porsche Arena, a really famous place for all kind of big event in sport !

New wall, new volume especially made for the competition, international route setter, all the best athlete in the world in term of bouldering ! Everything was here to make a great show ! For my part the competition stopped in semi-final at just one place to enter in the final... 7e...That's the game... I would have the chance to test the super boulder one time !! I will come back next year to try it!

An other part of the rockstars was the competition for amateur and i helped to build the boulder of one of the finalist. It was a funny experience to try to build a boulder in the style of the slovenian girl. But was not so hard finally cause we had the same style soooo let's go for a run and jump ! 



Now time to train in innsbruck for the last competition of the year ! Try to recover the shape and the mind of course to be ready at the right time !!
