And more 3 x 8b PP a 14 x 8a OS, 6 x 7c+ OS.
His girl partner Helena Lipenská did a 8a PP Lourdes.
Tomas writes that he confirms the grades of all routes and they are according to him similar as the difficulty grading in the others European areas.
Tomas Mrazek fill up the world ranking at 8a.nu and jumped to the 3rd position, just behind the first Patxi Usobiaga and the second Ramon Julian Puigblanque (both ESP).
The overhelming climbing majority would be very happy to see some videos from Mrazeks visit in Spain. Has been anyone done? Of course, if the answer is negative, some nice photos would be satisfactory (and perhaps with Helen).
