Ninja skills are required here - Thilo Schröter has them

Thilo Schröter, two-time Norwegian boulder master, climbs Ninja Skills (8b +) in Sobrio.

Thilo Schröter came to Switzerland about two weeks ago and has been climbing one boulder after the other ever since. On February 26, 2017, he put his hands on the mega-boulder ninja skills (8b +), which Nalle Hukkataival had started for the first time. Three days later he was able to decipher the first sequences. On Thursday the Norwegian managed to climb the super beautiful line in Sobrio. His comment:

This is probably the coolest boulder I've ever climbed! I saw the video of nalle hukkataival climbing this boulder a long time ago and watched it many more times over the years, and to climb it now, wow, I couldn't be more happy! ??
