"It seems like you did a lot more bouldering in the past two years than before. Why did you begin to emphasize bouldering and train more specifically for it?
I did it because I love
variety in climbing. One obvious reason why to love bouldering is because of
its purity. I reckoned that it might have helped in sport climbing too, but it
wasn't the main reason. Last autumn I was only bouldering and the main reason
was that I had never really focused on that for longer period of time. I wanted
to find out how hard I could boulder when completely focused on it."
"What does bouldering do for your climbing overall?
I am stronger and that
is why I can do moves on the routes easier. I realized that it is important to
try different beta, because bouldering taught me that even the most
impossible-looking beta might be the easiest solution to the problem."
