boulderingNews Switzerland

Bernd Zangerl announces the first ascent of a new, hard boulder in the Murg Valley near the Walensee. The new test piece is called Very important parrot and is in the range 8b (+).

“I'm looking forward to feedback from repeaters,” says Bernd Zangerl. Well then, let's go, dear readers. In addition to a portion of strength and flexibility, you also need a strong head. Because the thing is pretty high.
