Final problem in which I couldn’t match the last holdPicture by Sytse van Slooten In my last blogpost I wrote about my motivation to get fit in 5 days for the first bouldering comp of the year.

How fit can I get in one week? Last week I noticed that the first bouldering competition of this year will take place 23th of January in Sterk, a gym very close to where I live… Because I haven’t been climbing much for the past 3 months, I’m probably not fit enough to participate. But,…

Full of expectations, Stefan and I went to Turkey for two weeks of good, sweet rock climbing. We were craving for some sunshine, rocks and relaxation. Unfortunately, only the sun fulfilled our needs.During the two weeks at the crags, we got more and more tensed. It’s not really in my nature to complain, but I guess…
So, I got invited for the Show Off 2013. The Show Off is a funny competition whereby three Dutchies climb against 2 top climbers. This year Juliane Wurm and Jan Hojer were the guests. The goal was to climb a (not too difficult) route in which you really have to show off everything you’ve got.…
