The final is very different, it's super hard from the beginning, with a tough jump and then one really needs to push hard – an amazing world-class route. I'm doing much better than during the semifinal – I climb almost flawlessly and the competition mood is ON. I reach the headwall but I make a small mistake and fall from under the top – I really need to work on finishing. I guess Adam is going to get to the top, and so he does, though the headwall part looked pretty dramatic. And this means I score the second place.

Bahratal - Traumzeit 8A+ a rozjednaný Double Backflip 8C/+
V práci mám pár hodin naděláno, tak to zapíchnu dříve a frčím po dálnici do Bahratalu, konečně kvalitní písek a hlavně chci omrknout nějaký projekt na zimu. Začínám u Traumzeitu 8A+/B, zkusím Flash, ale oblinky mi moc nedrží, nakonec lezu trochu campus verzí po řezkách a po pár pokusech mám hotovo, asi spíš 8A+?.
I move to Double Backflip 8C/8C+, in the past I dismissed this boulder, I don't even know why. I try the moves and it's such a cool climb! The first part of the boulder are 4 power moves with grade about 7C+/8A, then comes a spin in a crack and then the third part – Backflip 8B/+, but without the bottom wall to support the feet. I'm done with the first part quickly but I can't get through the crack until Fox comes and I sort of figure it out. The rest is ok, I climb the whole third part immediately. I'm already a bit tired from practicing the moves but the attempts go well. Even though I'm still making some mistakes I reach the third part several times and I'm pretty close to finishing. We'll see how close I actually was on the next session. And I'm really looking forward to it.

MČR v boulderingu Slaný - 2.místo
Jeden z vrcholů boulderingové CZ scény je tu. Poměrně dlouho se rozhoduji, jestli vůbec do Slaného jet, po přípravě a samotném závodu na MS cítím, že by tělo potřebovalo spíše odpočinout. V páteční kvalifikaci se necítím příliš dobře a i když jsou bouldery lehké, nelezu je s lehkostí. Dávám 6 topů na 8 pokusů a zajišťuji si 3. postupové místo do semifinále.
Semifinal is a bit better, I send all the four boulders in 14 attempts. I really enjoy the third boulder, a brutal power climb. I send it just before the time runs out and only Adam climbs it, too. Adam wins the semifinal, the guys who scored two tops follow, and my brother advances, too, so I'm really happy.
I spend the afternoon by active rest with my children and then the final comes. We begin with a memory of Honza Chvála, he is still in our hearts. The boulders look good, they are modern but not really hard. I need just one attempt to finish the first one. The second boulder starts with a mantel and then there is a jump for both hands. First I jump and fall and I say to myself that this could take long, so I try a different approach and it works great – in the end I score a top.
Number three starts with a coordination jump, I feel I really lack practice here and it takes three attempts to jump. The rest is ok, for a moment I consider finding some support for my feet but then I decide for the campus version and get to the top like that.
The fourth boulder is a technical vertical, I get through the mantel at the beginning and then I twice fall from under the top. It's really hard in there.
Adam is the only one who gets to the top and earns his win fair and square, I end up second with my three tops and Štěpán Volf is third.

Mistrovství Světa Moskva - 4.místo!!!
Sezóna snů, nechápu: dvě třetí místa na světovém poháru a teď na mistrovství světa neskutečné 4.místo!!! Ufff, to je brutál.
Příprava na MS byla dobrá, cítil jsem se ve formě, měl jsem jediný malý problém s bicákem, který v průběhu závodu řešila Nikol Chovanová z Fyziogymcooper. Kvalifikačky byly pěkné a daří se mi zalézt 13. postupové místo do semifinále. Tu vytrvalostnější cestu dávám tři chyty pod Top - tam obsazuji dělené 8. místo, v té bouldrovější mi vlivem natečení smeká noha a obsazuji dělené 18. místo, postup vyšel pěkně a nevzal mi tolik sil jako při posledním SP v Kranji.
The training was ok, I felt strong and in shape, the only tiny trouble was my biceps, but Nikol Chovanová from Fyziogymcooper was helping me during the competition. The qualifications were good, I advanced to the semifinal from the 13th place. I get to the third hold under the top of the endurance route, which earns me a shared 8th place and I slip on the boulder-like route, so I share the 18th place. It was quite ok and I dindn't get as tired as in the World Cup in Kranj.
I'm happy about the semifinal routes, the beginnings are hard, as always, but then there is a lot of climbing on ledges and grips and I'm really looking forward to this. And the route looked like it was tailored for me. I'm not really exhausted when I get to the headwall, at least I don't feel so, but few moves away from the top there is a super hard move and then I fall. It's a bit of a surprise that I'm actually first. Eventually, only Hamish McArthur gets further, Schubert and Potocar fall from the same spot as me, which means a supercool 4th place and advancing to the final of the World Championship for me!
In the womens' category we hope Eliška Adamovská will get to the final, too. She does great and falls from the move above the edge of the overhang like many other competitors. She is on an 8th place, the last one from which she could advance to the finals, but a controversial protest of the French representation team (see the Facebook of Český horolezceký svaz for more information) she is moved to the 9th place and the French representative advances instead of her. I don't get this. Eliška is in great shape, though, and her time will still come!
I take a rest in the afternoon and recall the semifinal route. How come that all the guys were falling so much? And how come I'm doing that well this year? Do I deserve it at all? There are professional climbers and I'm the one who sits eight hours at work and I only can train at the Hudy gym once in every week or two. What would it be like if I was training as hard as the others? Would it be better for me or is it the best as it is now? So many questions, but it's great to be in the situation when one can ask them.
The final has come and it's going to be huge! The overall mood in the isolation is good and relaxed and the final route, especially its final (and rather technical) part doesn't look that super hard. I'm doing well, I hesitate with the jump a little, but the second attempt is successful. I get to the finish, lift my leg and fight my way up, over small ledges and up to the top. I just wave it and fall, though. I'm really happy, I gave it all I had and I'm totally exhausted. So far I am 1st and I hope I could get a medal. In the end I'm 4th, the remaining three climbers are better. I'm a bit disappointed at first, the medal was so close, but the 4th place is great, actually. It's probably the best result of my whole climbing career – totally unbelievable. I've never dreamt of this.
Such a result is a huge motivation for training and I'm really looking forward to the next season, I really enjoy the lead climbing world cups. But now I'm really looking forward to some rest and climbing outdoors! Many thanks go to Kačka for her support. Thanks to her I can train as I wish and together with the most amazing two little boys in the world we make an amazing team!

Bourání Pomníků XIa na druhý pokus
Včera jsme s mým lezeckým parťákem z HK vyměnili zaprášenou stěnu za čerstvý vzduch na Prachově a byli jsme nadšení. Na rozlez nalézám omylem do Miami Beach IXc, bez mága na sluníčku stékám z lištiček a říkám si, že je to sakra těžká osmička.
Pak jdu do Bourání Pomníků XIa. Prvním nálezem upoceně krokuji a nejsem si jistý, jestli v dnešním teple přelezu úvodní bouldr v kuse, vršek už nedolézám, ten má být za osm. Vychladnu a druhým pokusem se mi daří i s lehkou převahou přejít přes úvodní boulder, hrnu to nahoru, lezu přímo a zastavuje mě až vypečený závěr, kde asi deset minut nalézám a slézám, než se překulím přes osolenou výlezovou hranu skály. Lezení zakončíme Paštovým Odkazem VIIIa a plánujeme další návštěvu, je tu krásně.
Then I go for Bourání Pomníků XIa. At the first attempt I just try the moves and I'm not really sure I can get over the boulder at the bottom of it in today's hot weather. And I don't try the upper part, it's supposed to be an eight. I cool down a bit and climb the boulder quite easily. And then I go on until I get to the final part. There I spend about ten minutes, it's pretty tricky, but eventually I climb over the edge and I'm done. We finish our climbing session with Paštův Odkaz VIIIa and we plan another visit, it's really cool here.

SP Kranj - 10. místo; celkově v hodnocení SP 6. místo
Po čase stráveném v okolí jezera Lago di Garda se přesunujeme do slovinské Kranje na závěrečný díl Světového poháru v lezení na obtížnost. Těším se na legendární old school stěnu a boulderové cesty. Kvalifikace jsou hodně vytrvalostního charakteru a většinou se rozhoduje až v závěrečných krocích, daří se mi dvakrát těsně spadnout pod Topem a zajistit si tak 15. postupové místo do semifinále.
I feel tired in the afternoon, the qualification has taken its toll. I make several mistakes at the beginning of the semifinal route but then it gets better. But in the middle of the route I already lack energy and after one bad move I go down. First I think this was a pretty poor performance, but in the end it's enough for a nice 10th place. I do't pass to the final, but I was close – unfortunately my qualification results weren't good enough.
My total final score in this years' world Cup is an amazing 6th place!

Rockmaster Arco - 2. místo v boulderech, Duel - čtvrtfinále. Adam ženáčem.
Posledních 10 dní uteklo jako voda. První akcí byl Rockmaster v italském Arcu. Rockmaster jsem jako malý hodně vnímal, brali jsme tento závod jako ještě něco víc než mistrovství světa, hltali jsme úspěchy Mrázy a snili o účasti na závodě. Vlivem více faktorů mi přistála pozvánka do mailu a měl jsem možnost si atmosféru Rockmasteru letos vychutnat. Závod se dost změnil a tento rok bylo 8 pozvaných lezců, kteří závodili jak v KO boulderu, tak v duelu (dříve byli vždy specialisté na jednotlivé disciplíny). Den před závodem máme možnost si bouldery vyzkoušet, neznáme ale pořadí boulderů v závodu, takže zkoušíme vše naplno. Dva bouldery se mi daří vylézt, ve dvou padám pod topem. Cesta v duelu je letos težší než obvykle, cca 8a, a se svými dvěma pracovními pokusy jsem spokojený, jen cvakání presek mě trochu zlobí.
V závodní den nejprve zafandíme Elišce Adamovské, také v její premiéře na Rockmasteru, a odpoledne závodíme my. Na každý boulder máme 3 pokusy, dva nejhorší v každém kole vypadávají. Parádně se mi daří silová jednička, kterou jako jediný s Adamem posílám do Topu. Dvojka, to je koordinační skok a pak ještě těžce do Topu. Skok jsem v pracovním dni udělal jednou z deseti pokusů a bylo mi jasné, že bude muset vše klapnout. První pokus nula, druhým skáču a zajišťuji si postup dále. Trojka je brutální kolmáč, ten nám oproti tréninku hodně ztížili, v tréninku ho téměř každý dal na první pokus, a vlastně už jen nastoupit do kolmice a udělat první krok znamená postup dále – to se mi daří a i v kolmáči se cítím celkem dobře. Do posledního boulderu nastoupím po boku Adama Ondry a Filipa Schenka, silovka s průtlakem na závěr neodolá jen Adamovi, mně i Filipovi se daří dolézt pod Top, ale díky lepším předchozím kolům obsazuji brutal 2. místo za Adamem.
KO boulder
On the competition day we first go and cheer Eliška Adamovská and in the afternoon it's our turn. We have three attempts for each boulder and the worst two climbers are eliminated at the end of each round. I'm doing awesome with the first power boulder, Adam and me are the only ones who reach the top. The second boulder is a coordination jump and pushing hard for the top. I only managed to jump once in ten attempts when we were training, so I am well aware that I simply need to do it somehow if I want to advance. The first attempt is a failure but at the second attempt I manage to jump and get further. The third boulder is a brutal vertical, much harder compared to the training and mere starting and getting over the first move equals to advancing. I do that and I actually feel quite good at the vertical. Adam Ondra, Filip Schenk and me are the only ones who get to try the last boulder and Adam is the only one who gets over the power climb with a mantel in the finish. Filip and me both get under the top but as my results before were a bit better I score an amazing 2nd place in this discipline.
I enter the duel very tired from the boulders but I score the 4th place in the qualification (my time was 1:27s) and I advance to the quarterfinal together with Michael Piccolruaz. We are quite balanced, but Michael is a bit ahead of me, then I struggle with the quickdraws in the overhang and in the meantime Michael gets to the top and the competition is over for me.
After that I spend a day in the rocks with Adam, like in the good old times. I climb Progetto Tribout 8b OS and I'm pretty close to an OS of an 8b+. On 1.9. we attended Adama and Iva's wedding day at Naranch, best wishes for their life together!

Konec Světa Direct 8B - Mladkov
O víkendu razíme za brzkého rána se Štěpánem na Mladkov. Tady čeká neopakovaný Konec Světa za 8B, který jsem vylezl před 12 lety. Boulder si tréninkově zkouším zopakovat se Štěpánem a chci zkusit vymyslet nějakou novou betu. Při zkoušení potvrzuji Štěpánův názor, že boulder je blíže k 8B+, což znamená, že jsem kdysi nejspíše přeskočil hodnotu 8B a skočil rovnou z 8A+ na 8B+. Tehdy jsme neměli tolik zkušeností s klasifikací, byl to rok, kdy jsem skončil druhý na MS.
Jak to tak bývá, když se člověk vrátí ke starému boulderu, vymyslí se něco nového. A i tentokrát jsem vymyslel, že se dá napálit z bočáku v převisu rovnou daleko do hrany, to mě tehdy ani nenapadlo. Je to o něco lehčí než doleva a po hodince ladění a pokusování přelézám, takto je to asi těch tehdejších 8B. Vlastně se jedná možná o logičtější směr a ten původní je taková úhybka doleva, v dnešním světě variant je to asi ok. Zkouším chvíli ještě zopakovat původní verzi, ale na tu už je teplo a není síla.
Usually, when people return to an old boulder, they discover something new. So, this time I found out that I can actually get far to the edge from the overhanging side-pull. I didn't think about this option before. It's a bit easier like this, and after an hour I climb it. I guess this version is a true 8B. It seems more logical and the previous beta is more of a diversion from it, which is ok, I guess – we're living in the world full of options anyway. I also try the original beta but it's already too hot and I don't have any power left.

SP Chamonix a SP Briancon - 2x 3.místo!!!
Uff, to byl týden. Stále to zpracovávám, rovnám si myšlenky, cítím se namotivovaně, ve formě, šťastně. Povedly se dvě medaile – neskutečný. Medaile beru s pokorou, neboť tu chyběla velká trojka připravující se na olympiádu – Adam Ondra, Alex Megos a Jakob Schubert, ti by pravděpodobně do stupňů vítězů promluvili.
Uplynulý týden se konaly dva světové poháry ve Francii v krásných lokalitách Chamonix a Briancon. Razím s rodinkou, pohoda na závodech je pro mě důležitá, mohu se alespoň psychicky odreagovat při přebalování a zároveň je tu velká podpora od Kačky. V první kvalifikaci v Chamonix udělám malinkou chybku, těsně pod Topem se špatně postavím a šmyknu, druhá cesta je brutal silovka a v té se mi zadaří dolézt mezi nejlepšími a postoupit do semifinále z děleného 13. místa. Semifinále se kvůli počasí leze trochu neobvykle ještě ve stejný den a vychází mi skvěle, ve vytrvalostní cestě nechybuji a dolézám do závěrečného headwallu, vypadá to na těsný nepostup do finále, ale ti nejlepší z kvalifikace chybují a nakonec postupuji ze 6. místa do svého 3. finále v lezení na obtížnost v životě.
Last week two rounds of World Cup took place in France: one in Chamonix and the other one in Briancon. I took my family with me, it's important to feel relaxed and changing diapers is great relaxation, indeed. And Kačka's support is super important. I made a small mistake during the first qualification in Chamonix, I slipped right under the top. The second route is a brutal power climb and I'm among the best ones, so I pass to the semifinal from a shared 13th place. Due to the weather the semifinal takes place on the very same day as the qualification, which is a bit unusual, but I'm doing great. I make no mistakes on the route and reach the final headwall. It looks like I won't make it to the final, but the guys who were best in the qualification made some mistakes, so in the end I'm 6th and I pass to the final of a lead climbing competition for the third time in my life.
After such a dramatic semifinal my boys sleep like logs, I'm full of emotion, though, and keep reliving the semifinal route until late at night. I'm loooking forward to the final a lot. Waiting for it is looong, it's raining in Chamonix and I don't want to eat or lie too much, nor to be active too much, so that I'm 100% ready.
The final in Chamonix is extraordinary, with Mont Blanc in the background and huge audience. An amazing experience, really. I start calm and proceeed quickly, at the beginning of an overhang I'm surprised by some bad holds, so I return and this mistake costs me lots of strength. After that it's quite a struggle for each hold, the route is cruel, I barely get to the second half and I don't think I would score better than the 6th place, but it turns out that the route is really super hard, so in the end I score the unbelievable 3rd place! I'm ecstatic!
We spend the following days in Chamonix for we planned to enjoy the place but the weather ruins it, so we just have one traning session in the local gym and then we move to Briancon.
I'm loooking forward to Briancon – there is the biggest overhang of the World Cup – and I hope the qualification routes will be tough. And sure they were! The routes were super hard, none scored the top. I'm climbing smoothly and I pass to the semifinal from the 4th place. The semifinal route is more about endurance and I'm doing quite well, I get very close to the top and from the reactions of the audience I guess it's good. I pass to the final, yes!
Eventually, I pass from the 4th place again, I have a good day, really. Again, we wait for the final long time, but we like the place so we enjoy it. My boys are amazing source of energy for me. During the final the rain is followed by sunshine and vice versa, fortunately this doesn't impact the climbing conditions. The final route looks hard but in the end it's not as bad as the one in Chamonix. I enjoy the onsight climbing, thanks to my experience I manage to do the right sequences of moves, I only make one tiny mistake and climb to the final headwall. There I take a break and want to go on, but on the next round hold I realize that I should have rested more. I try to jump to the undercling and I go down. I'm happy, though. I feel it could have been better but it's almost impossible not to make mistakes in the final. My performance is among the best ones, just three climbers follow after me. Dimitry surprises us and gets ahead of me, Sean Bailey falls sooner than me, which is surprising, too. Now I know I'll be standing on the podium. Stefano Ghisolfi climbs prudently, he slips on the edge of the overhang but manages to hold on quite extraordinarily. He gets furthest and really deserves to win. Another bronze medal for me!
Thank you all for the nice messages and congratulations, it's amazing to feel such support! Now I need to keep working and training hard, for I'm going to attend Rockmaster in Italian Arco – the cradle of the sport climbing, and then another World Cup competition in Slovenian Kranj!

SP Villars - 32.místo
The second route with tiny holds is quite ok, but then comes a surprisingly coarse headwall where I slip and fall. It looks that it could be still enough for me to pass, but eventually I end up 32nd. I'm not happy about my performance today, my falls weren't caused by fatigue and it bugs me a lot. Now I'll have several days of training and then I'll go to France for the upcoming two World Cups.

SP Innsbruck - 12.místo!
After a rest day, which is a bit unusual, feel good, though I guess the semifinal route won't suit me: there are lots of small ledges – you can tell Jan Zbranek built this :) I'm doing my best, though, and I only make several mistakes. My score of 31 is enough for a nice 12th place. With 32 points I would pass to the final – this one was really close...

ČP v obtížnosti Brno - 1.místo
Po dlouhé době opět závod, těším se. Kvalifikačními cestami za ca 10- a 9+/10- proběhnu rychle a dávám dva topy, cesty jsou jen vytrvalostní a těžší kroky jsou vždy až k závěru.
The final route looks quite easy at first but then it gets trickier. I climb a bit cautiously, wasting some power by belaying, so I'm quite swollen when I get to the edge of the overhang. Fortunately, I can rest a bit, so I add several moves and win, scoring 4 moves more than Marin Jeliga and Štěpa Volf.

Vysoký vrch a Ostrý kopec - perfektní písek u Dubé
Včera razím k Dubé, ještě jsem tu nebyl, a tak se těším na novinky. Začínám na Ostrém Kopci, po rozlezu jdu hned do nejtěžšího boulderu SRT za 8B, fouká, prsty mrznou. Po několika nálezech přicházím na schůdnou betu, viz. video, a třetím pokusem se mi daří přelézt, takto lehčí 8A+?
I'm still warmed up enough so I hurry to Špekulant Assis 8B – a super amazing line. I want to Flash it but during the foot switch I hit the rock on the ground – what a pity. I fall once again and the third attempt is finally successful. It's one of the TOP 8B in this country.
I return to Ostrý kopec and start working on the extension of SRT - I start from the left from Manťák and sen the whole traverse at the first attempt - Manta Obrovská 8B.

Black Panter 8C FA - Vesec
Po zimním přelezu Teorie Tygra za 8B+ bylo jasné, že převis kamene Hrbatého Jezevčíka půjde přelézt i v opačném směru.
It starts with part of the Sněžný Levhart boulder: five 8A+ moves, then there is a hard descent around the overhanging crack and the final part of Bílý Tygr. In total it all makes 25 power moves and no rest.
During the very first session I managed to perform all the moves, so I guess that as far as the difficulty goes the boulder would be the same as Teorie Tygra. However, during the next three visits I find out that I was mistaken. I can't climb down next to the crack and I need to find an easier way to drop the feet. I have more possible strategies but it takes three sessions until I get to the crack and for the first time I get to the Bílý Tygr but I'm all swollen so I can just keep dreaming about getting to the top.
The climbing sessions with Foxík and Zákoř are great, it's a pretty hardcore workout for me and I cut my fingers with sharp rock. My fifth visit is really quick: at the fourth attempt I get through the ceiling and after a bit of a struggle I fall down – two moves away from the top. I'm dead tired so I go home.
I train a bit and let the skin heal. I feel good at the Hudy training session on Sunday and I believe the next time I'll be successful. I reach Bílý Tygr at the third attempt and though I'm pretty swollen I hold on and finally finish! Black Panther 8C!

The Edge Problem 8B+ FA - Maloměřice
V neděli máme repre soustředění v obtížnosti, předpověď hlásí pěkné chladné ráno, a tak se po cestě zastavuji okolo 7 h v Maloměřicích na projektu - převislé vzdušné hraně.
Minule jsem byl blízko přelezu, ale malinká řezka, okolo které se děje vše podstatné, mi protrhla prst, a tím pro mě pokusování skončilo. Prsty ani po 14 dnech nemám ještě 100% zahojené, ale naštěstí se dá řezka držet s tejpkou a stejně si dávám raději jen pár pokusů na přelezy, aby byly prsty ready na pozdější trénink. Po rozlezu se mi hned druhým nálezem daří udělat klíčový krok a pak už nepadám. The Edge Problem 8B+. Hozená rukavice pro vítěze ze Švýcarska?
Last time I almost finished it but I cut my finger so I had to quit. Even though it has been 14 days, my fingers are still not 100% ok, but I can mitigate the damage a bit by taping them. And I don't plan to try very hard anyway, for I need to save my fingers for the training. However, after the warm up I get through the crux and then I finish the whole boulder at the second attempt. The Edge Problem 8B+. A bit of a challenge for the winner from Switzerland?

Some Ascents Lately
Novinky na Babím Lomě na kameni Raketa, pěkné lezení po malých krysách - Lidská Bestie 8B/+ FA, Hloubka Ostrosti 8B FA, Mistrovské Dílo 8A+ FA.
Some news at Babí Lom on the Raketa rock - Lidská Bestie 8B/+ FA, Hloubka Ostrosti 8B FA, Mistrovské Dílo 8A+ FA.
And last but not least: my recent attempts to finish the project at Vesec: more than 20 amazing moves in one piece, without rest, heels, toes, a bit of pain, totally exhausting. First I thought the grade would be 8B+ but the four visits made me reconsider– probably it's more of an 8C?

ČP v obtížnosti Zlín - 1.místo
Na první závod v obtížnosti do Zlína se dost těším, trénink jde dobře, forma je a v závodě to bylo cítit. Kvalifikačními cestami jako jediný projdu až do Topu. V první cestě po černých oblinách se na začátku cítím nervózní, ale od půlky už se mi leze dobře a síly mi vyjdou tak akorát do Topu. Druhá cesta je kolmáč po řezkách, nahoře s boulderem, který přejdeme pouze s Martinem Jeligou, tady byl Top s malou rezervou.
In the afternoon we are waiting for the final. The final route looks good and seems quite easy, though it's true that two moves made me lose my cool a bit. Had I used chalk on time, I could get several moves further, but it is still good enough for the first place. Rishat Khaibullin and Honza Vopat are second and third.
I feel good about my performance but I wonder how would I do compared to the world first class climbers. I guess I should train even harder. I'm really looking forward to the World Cups.
