Oeeee, almost. Just one night, a bit of soccer and then climbing! I just had the technical meeting and got the starting list. I’m already nervous and feel this little heartbeat in my throat. But, I already felt better after I met another iceclimber: Radka from Bulgaria. She’s kind and social, so time to chill …

Worldcup Boulder Eindhoven
Just a couple days to go. I’m nervous and have the feeling I’m not strong enough, not good enough. Erik told me yesterday that 50% of my strength is ‘between my ears’. If I’d stop ‘thinking’, be more relaxed, I’d climb a lot better…which is true, I guess. Most of the times, when I climb …

Saas Fee 2

And money is not really the thing growing on trees in winter-time…So, woke up early again, this time the isolation even closed at 7:45 (Swiss time). I took some breakfast and then the waiting, …
