Andrea Kümin and David Firnenburg in the Murg Valley and Brione

Andrea Kümin and her friend David Firnenburg visited two Swiss bouldering spots a week ago - with success!

Their first stop was the eastern Swiss bouldering area Murgtal, where David's the Fred Nicole Leisten classic L'Ombre du vent (8a +) climbed.

It was climatically more pleasant - as so often in this time of year - in Ticino. In Brione, Andrea Kümin succeeded in ascent of Entwash and Grapefruit (both 8a, see the following video). David also climbed Grapefruit (even Flash) and could the 8b-Boulder Flash Flood Add (8b) to his ticklist.
