\nSeven days before his 45th birthday, Arthur Kubista –\u00a0one of the strongest Austrian climbers\u00a0– redpointed Der lange Atem, a 3 years standing project at the crag of Schattenreich,\u00a0in the pre-alpine H\u00f6llental valley 80 km from Vienna.
\n\u00a0
\nA well deserved birthday\u2019s present for Arthur as last year ran\u00a0 serious risk for his health in reason of a \u00a0back injury.
\n\u00a0
\nThe Schattenreich\u2019s crag hosts also the first 9a of\u00a0eastern Austria, Maitre Vauban und der Basilisk, redpointed by Arthur\u00a0and not yet repeated even if talented climbers have attempted it). Next to this there is another of his routes, Aktion Talon, 8c.

\nKubista\u00a0has done\u00a0as well many FA in Sardinia as\u00a0Zigantumania 8c+ at\u00a0the Millennium cave.

\nThe name of the route \u201cDer lange Atmen – The long breath\u201d drops a hint at the long and strenuous effort for sending the route and to the solved health\u2019s problems of the last year.

\nArthur wrote: \u201c Der lange Atem, 28m long and for which I propose 9a+, can be divided into two very different sections, split by a complete rest. The first –\u00a0very athletic\u00a0– is about 13m long, and climbs two roofs and could be graded more or less 8c\/c+. I sent it\u00a0this last year as a route in its own and I called it "Versehrtendachl –\u00a0Roof of the maimed\u201d, in reason of my\u00a0back injury. The second part is about\u00a015m long on a overhanging wall, on micro holds. I linked the two sections in the freezing cold of 31 October 2009\u201d
