(note: Štěpán climbed his first 8B+ in Feb 2018, he repated a roof line called Fuse in Kremstal, Austra, see below)Ĭlimbing will still go further, in bouldering primarily in physical possibilities. In the rocks I want to attack 8B+, damn hard boulder for me, maybe Ill Thrill at Magic Wood.

Surely, I can´t be a professional climber, with regard to my age and performance, but I would like to participate in European competitions of the World Cup, and also beyond the sea if money support allows. In the Czech Cup I would like to attack the first place at least in one competition. My priority for the next 2 or 3 seasons is clear, I would like to be in the national team and get to a semi-final in the Boulder World Cup. Abroad mainly Magic Wood, Brione enchanted me, Chironico and Cresciano are also great areas. When I follow this I´m oblivious to surroundings and I´m mostly climbing well.Īs for Czech areas they are Bor, Ostaš, Sněžník, Modřín. My advice is: "everybody is nervous, it´s only about concentration, focus your mind only on yourself". Psyche is one of them and it plays a quite big role. Of course, it´s not only about physical fitness, there are more factors in competitions. It´s a big advantage for me to know that I always arrive well prepared. It´s still harder to keep myself on the Czech top but I like to train. Competitions show who is better, in clear and same conditions. I like compare myself with other climbers at a specific time, now and here. Why do you take part in the competitions? I like athletics, I watch NHL, biathlon, Olympics etc. I do climbing to the maximum so I don´t have a lot of time for other activities but I´m interested in sport in general. I see it as one of the crucial moments which created our affection for climbing and nature. With time we climbed like that at Ostaš, Škrovádě, Ostrov etc. Our father ran around some rock or crag, hung a rope on top and we climbed toprope. In the rocks we started as little boys at Adršpach since our family had a cottage there. Our achievements and performance are results of hard work since our childhood, surely we profit from that even now. I´m happy that our love to climbing didn´t disappear in our teens, on the contrary, we tried to train more. Sometimes trainings were quite hard, but you have to foster some diligence since childhood. At that time we climbed only with a rope and we lived only for competitions.
With my brother we started thanks to my father in 1995 when a quite climbing wall was built in our town. I enjoy pushing myself to the limits and overcoming them. I like physical hard work in training, in the rocks as well as at competitions. You don´t have to be shut in a gym all the time. During more than 20 competitive seasons I have created an incredible tie to it. I can´t imagine my life without climbing.
