19 Jan Micha Vanhoudt, 8B+ FA

 On 12/12/12 the in Austria living Belgian climber Micha Vanhoudt was finally able to sent one of the last boulder projects in a secret area close to Vienna: Barry White, 8B+.
“Apart from the special date it also took me around 12 days.” Micha says, “The last days where the hardest, I felt fit and was convinced that it could go down at any try, but then the weather changed.”
The days that followed he spent most of his time with a snow shovel and a broom in hand. “Whilst sitting there under that roof with minus 7°C, I thought the season was over. However, on the 12th, everything was perfect, the air was crispy-fresh, the rock was dry and I was fit.”
“The boulder is perfect, I have spent so much time in it that I just had to fall in love with it. Therefore, the master of love songs… Barry White”
