I think I met him and a bunch of other Brits in Brione two years ago in april. we were at Molonk, and one of the guys there took a few pics of me that I'd like to have, so if anyone can put me in contact I'd be very happy.
he seemed a bit of a beast but I think he was injured because he didn't even put his shoes on despite clearly wanting to crush.
a good day out!!!

Jorg won the Overall Lead Worldcup in 2008 and was World Youth Champion twice. From his new hometown Innsbruck he's pushing his limits on real rock too, in (alpine style) routes like Brento Centro (near Arco) - a 1000 m pile of overhanging shitty rock with difficulties up to 8b. He's done some alpine stuff as well in Austria. It def. helps being a strong sportclimber when you go from bolts to trad...  :clap2:

Holy Shit, he freed that! Did it as an aid route a few years back. Despite a strong team with choss previous, none of us thought free climbing looked like a good idea...

According to the other channel Steve " Troy" McClure has done all the pitches of the Quarryman in a day.

Maybe you should stay with yo' mama.

According to Kairn Arnaud Petit has done The Black Bean 8b+ at Ceuse "uniquement sur coinceurs".  'Good preparation for this summer's project' it continues.  I wonder what he is up to?

Thats nuts ...
I bottled that one at the last moment!

I'm guessing he's training for something big, hard, trad. and exotic.  Has to be Echo Wall doesn't it!

James Squire, 14, another one of TCA's youth squad, succeeded on Brad Pitt last weekend. He's snapping at Hamish's heels and they're both looking forward to the summer hols and some outdoor action.

At the other end of the age spectrum Leo Moger managed to drag his withered, saggy, age-ravaged frame up keen roof this evening
