The last German Boulder Cup this year was arranged at the OutDoor fair in Friedrichshafen at the Bodensee in Southern Germany. The event attracted the passing audience. Additionally a new rather vertical climbing wall made it much more interesting for the athletes to compete on new technical elements.

For Ruben besides his re-entry into climbing or better to say competition climbing after his injury it was his first German Boulder Cup at the seniors category ever. He qualified for the semi-final and finally placed 15th. Not bad but defintely developable. Now he is mainly focusing on the upcoming lead events in Imst (AUT) and Central Saanich (CAN).

David is momentarily quite fit. He flashed all problems in the qualification, qualified for the final with 3 out of 4 tops in the semi-final and managed to show a great performance in the final of the six best boulderers of the day. After an oversight in the first final problem missing the volume for a run-and-jump with his right foot he nearly could top boulder number 2 and 3 (just the winner Stefan Danker could top them) droping last place in the final. Not least with strong will and the required energy he totally concentrated on the last problem ticking it as only Jan Hoyer and Stefan Danker. Therewith he secured the 3rd place at the seniors event and became 1st at the Juniors. Accessory with this great effort he even achieved to be German Boulder Champion of the Juniors category and 3rd place overall at the seniors contest. Thereby he meanwhile became German Youth Boulder Champion three times in a row. Furthermore, after this competition the alpine club of Hanover is 1st at the ranking of the German alpine clubs which are sending their best athletes to the climbing events. More and more it comes clear that all the new structures and entreprises in Nothern Germany, especially in the sport climbing and competition department, lead to effective training of the athletes which show up with good results. From our side: Keep this up!

This good athmosphere and motivation definitely helps us to prepare for the upcoming competition highlights. Now we are off to Tyrol training lead with our parents outdoor as indoor.

We are syked. Crush it! Cheers still from Zurich,

David & Ruben ;-)
