Sascha Lehmann wins Blocbuster in the bzwei

This year's Blocbuster was a great success with over 130 participants.

From all over Switzerland and neighboring Germany and France, the B2 welcomed enthusiastic boulderers. The four hours for the 50 Boulders were enough for tired forearms and sore fingertips. As the Boulders went from easy to pretty hard, everyone got their money's worth. Especially the fondue over the fire in the garden, which was included in the entry fee, contributed to the familiar, sociable atmosphere. And whoever was lucky, won one of the more than 30 prizes, which were raffled among all participants at the end.

Sascha Lehmann wins for the third time

Sascha Lehmann wins the competition in the Basel bouldering hall for the third time in a row (2015, 2016, 2017) and was the only participant to top all boulders last weekend. The 14-year-old Zora Eichenberger was the strongest lady and, according to her age, took 14th place in the overall ranking.
