ALL SENSES BOULDER JAM BY BERND ZANGERL

Can I trust this piece 🧐🤪?
I am not a fan of building big landing zones in nature or organising 10 pads & friends for big boulders. It turned out that the upper crux of my project remains very hard after some days of trying & a fall from there will lead to serious problems 🚫 so maybe this piece of metal is the solution? It will not provide 100% security- but maybe enough ?
Would u trust it? 😉

Many strong climbers visited this place & also to me this 💃LINE💃 really looked „unclimbable“ when I saw it the 1st time. But it’s just so unique - una grande linea- that I had to check it out after my summer training 🏋️‍♀️ 💪 the moves are done🚀 & the „save“ boulder highpoint reached on 5m....but it turned out that a fall on the crux move at the end will lead to serious problems 🤪🌞🚫 so either I get a lot of pads now......🤷‍♀️ ...

🌞Back in Valle Dell‘ Orco for some adventure 👊🚀💪 After all this specific Training I did this Summer it feels so good to be back on the rock again! Turned out it was a great Training & some projects feel really good now. Can’t describe how happy I am to be back in Valley & check out some new & old projects here around Noasca. I am coming now for 10 years to this beautiful alpine region and there is still so much potential for the creative mind. 🧐🤪😀

🌞Back in Valle Dell‘ Orco for some adventure

I guess I met Fred back in 1999 & we quickly became friends - sharing the same passion & ideas. Fred & Mary took me also overseas to my 1st bouldering trips to Hueco & Rocklands. 🌞🍀 Times I will never forget. A lot has changed, but we still love what we have been doing back in the days. In essence, bouldering & climbing never changed 👊 In the last years Fred is also developing & working on new designs for @fiveten_official. So it’s always great to meet & ...

HIMALAJA, 2011🍀🌞🙏
I was exploring new areas, when I passed this old woman. She was sitting near the road. I was wondering what this old lady wants in that wild part of The Valley with steep trails climbing up the Mountains. I went back to her just to have a look. She was talking some Hindu dialect🤪 not understanding any word, it was clear to me that she needs to go up this hill. I sit down in front of her, took a deep breath, and she climbed up on my back. Slowly I started ...

DAMNNNNN, I miss these places🇮🇳 For the last 10 years I was travelling along hidden roads & secret valleys in the majestic himalaya´s - 🌞developing boulder after boulder off the radar. The potential is still untouched & crazy projects are waiting to be done. 💪🚀 After my 1st visit back in 2010 I fell in love with the nature, the mountains and the people living in these remote places. I am deeply grateful that I was able to spent nearly 3 years of my life with them. i miss ...

DEFINING MOMENTS

APRIL 15, 2001

Dreamtime
Tessin, Switzerland

The world’s hardest boulder problem of that time, Dreamtime was the first boulder graded with Fb.8C, opened by legendary Fred Nicole. With this ascent I caught widespread public attention and suddenly stood in the limelight.

MARCH 15, 2003

Boulderer of the Year
Climbing Magazine, USA

In 2003 I was honored for my achievements by renowned Climbing magazine and became the first European climber to win the title: “Boulderer Of The Year“.

OCTOBER 23, 2007

Anam Cara
Galtür, Austria

In 2005 doctors told me for the first time that I will never will be able to crimp on small edges with my left hand again because of a bad finger injury. They told me I will never do hard boulders again, but two years later I proved myself that I can hang on the wildest crimpers again and work on impossible looking features. Anam Cara was big step in my climbing career and mental development … plus, it was one of the hardest climbs in the world back in the day.

APRIL 1, 2009

From the Dirt Grows the Flower
Chironico, Switzerland

Back in 2009: Worldwide, there have been only a few boulder problems and climbers who climbed in the grade 8C. In these days there have been lots of grade discussions within the climbing scene and rumors spreading the web. After making hard first ascents in my home areas of Austria, it was about time to check out “the new standard” put up by US climber Dave Graham and give it a try.

MARCH 11, 2010

Secrets
Switzerland

A two-hour hike into unknown mountain regions and this crazy rock formation was mine. One of my personal top dream lines, unrepeated!

SEPTEMBER 5, 2009

Molecule Man
Berlin, Germany

That would be a great picture my friend told me, while we were on a sightseeing tour in Berlin. A few days later I climbed the Molecule Man statue in the early morning. It was a special event in my life and the view from the top over Berlin was just a unique ... so was the boat ride. 🙂

JUNE 11, 2013

Shantaram
Osen, Norway

Many boulders have inspired me. Shantaram on the small island of Osen, Norway blew my mind. Linking its 23 holds together seemed utopian to me during my first five-week trip in 2012 but inspired by the unique mix of ocean and rocks a year later, I finally conquered the exit handle after another five weeks of intense attempts.

MAY 27, 2015

29.DOTS
Valle dell' Orco, Italy

For many 29.DOTS (Fb.8a+) would have been a sport climb, for me it was the tallest boulder I ever climbed. A very special moment in my climbing career with special preparation to climb such a tall boulder and difficult line without a rope.

APRIL 1, 2017

Into the Sun
Murgtal, Switzerland

After my bad accident on December 29th, 2015 doctors told me I would never climb hard again. 489 days after this fall I succeeded in making the first free ascent. Into the Sun is graded 8c+, as such it checks in as one of the hardest trad climbs in the world, but, far more importantly, it marks an important comeback.

MAY 5, 2019

Il Colonel
Valle dell' Orco

Il Colonel, in the Italian region of Piemont, is an uncompromising dream of a climb. Italian Niky Ceria put up the standstart back in 2017, and right after climbing the standstart, I started looking for a way to solve this sitstart problem. I already had a possible sequence in my mind back in 2015, but I was just too weak after the accident to do so. It remained a dream until 2019. After lots of training and rehabilitation I finally was able to add two super hard moves to the existing boulder problem.
