In the year 2013 Thomas Blaabjerg crashed hard while climbing and landed in a wheelchair. The doctors told the young Dane that he would never be able to climb. Four years later he climbs again. Better than ever before.
In 2013, Thomas suffered serious injuries when he fell from a height of eight meters. A broken wrist, two broken heels - bad prospects for climbing. Thomas was not deterred and began the long but arduous path of rehabilitation and training. With success. In the summer of this year he climbed the ultra classic The Never Ending Story (8b +) in Magic Wood. It is his hardest ascent to date. "I tried the line on and off over 4-5 days, but it was only the last 2 days, where I gave it actual send burns from the bottom. In the crux (the connection of part one and two) it all comes down to a hard right heel hook, which I found very difficult. Therefore I spent the first sessions, trying to connect this part. When I did that, around 3 moves before the red point crux, I knew I was able to do the full line “, Thomas comments on the ascent of The Never Ending Story.
