Stage four of the Iceclimbing worldcup series was a smack in the face for me. With lead I was doing good and made a 14th place in Semi Finals. Dual speed is not really my thing its knock out and when you make a small mistake its over. I qualified firsts for the Semi finals fastest time. Yes!! During the first run in Semi my opponent on the right route climbed a bit faster than me. I was to nerves so I tried to pull harder to keep up. A stupid mistake, my times where good enough for the finals. .. I ripped true the ice once so I lost some time on my opponent. Trying to keep up I pulled even harder. Slicing through the soft ice in the top .And again Slicing a meter down till the rope snug.. I climbed up and was DQ’t for weighting the rope… SHIT out… Picture: Lukasz Warzecha/UIAA Dennis: 14th Lead 13th Speed Marianne: 12th Lead 13th Speed UIAA Ice Climbing World Tour 2013 | Busteni Official from UIAA – Mountaineering & Climbing on Vimeo.
