This is how the Swiss athletes prepare for the Boulder World Cup

Next weekend the World Cup season starts for the boulderers in Meiringen. Our Swiss athletes are preparing very differently for the first competition.

While Andrea Kümin and David Firnenburg are doing their last exercises in the "Partner Bouldering" discipline, Beni Blaser and Kevin Heiniger hang around the blocks in Ticino. All four do this with success. At least there is video material from Andrea, David and Beni that we do not want to withhold from you.

Beni Blaser walks through Freak Brothers (8a +)

Beni was together with Kevin Heiniger in Brione and Chironico on Bouldering last weekend. During a short detour to Ticino, he managed the commission of Freak Brothers (8a +) in Chironico. This was his last trip to the rock before the competition. Now Beni Blaser is still in the WK in Andermatt, where he trained for the last time today on plastic.

Andrea and David prefer to devote each other instead of rock or plastic. Also a way to prepare for the competition season.
