Johannes Hofherr sending 'Sprengstoff' (9a) at Lorüns, Vorarlberg, Austria. This pretty vertical, technical testpiece has a rich history—bolted by Beat Kammerlander before 2000, it remained an open project for over 20 years until Jacopo Larcher’s first ascent in 2020. Since then, only a handful of world-class climbers - Barbara Zangerl, Jakob Schubert, and Adam Ondra, have repeated it.
