05 Mar Klemen Becan climbs Water World

Klemen Becan resolved a new incredibile line in Osp called Water World. Like reports in his blog:”Almost two years ago I bolted new super line on the left side of the cave. Soon I realized it’s going to be hard, probably the hardest one in the cave. When I tried it for the first few times I had no idea how to do all the moves in the first section. I could do only the first two and the rest of 28 moves (to the big rest) were mystery. So I had to hang around on a route for a long time to crack the puzzle. Upper 30 meters of the route is super nice climbing on stalactites and luckily not so hard. Around 8a, 8b I think."
The route seemed very difficult at the beginning but after some attempts, Klemen connected all moves but the base changed its status and form: "Under the cave was a big lake so I couldn’t get to the start of it. When the water was gone and I came back I had to start all over again…So now when we had too much of rain in Slovenia I had to find other ways to get to the route. First I tried with a boat. Especially comfortable for a belayer but was hard to stay dry until I started to climb. So next time I made a Tyrolean traverse over the lake and I could get to the project "normally".
For Klemen this route is 9a at the moment and “if it’s more (or less) others will tell, I know I had great time in it and it was worth making it”.
