We are very honoured and proud that Klemen Bečan will be part as a guest on the upcoming Ermionida Climbing Festival!
Come and join out Climbing and see live Klemen to try our new routes at Castle Thermisia Crag.
Few words about Klemen Bečan :
Klemen tried climbing for the first time when he was 7 years old, and since then, that's all he ever wanted to do. He joined the local competition team at the gym at age 10 and focused all his time and energy on training. At age 14, he started competing internationally on the Slovenian Youth team. At age 15, only one short year after joining the team, he won the World Championship Youth Gold Medal in lead climbing.
→ Klemen prefers on-sight climbing. He thinks it captures the essence of climbing. You have to adapt and make on-the-fly decisions, which train the mind and body to be at its best, on and off the rock, and these lessons transfer to your everyday life.
→ His hardest on-sight is Siempre se Puede Hacer Menos (watch video), where he did the on-sight first ascent.
→ He doesn't like spending much time working routes but still climbed some hard routes graded to 9a+ like Joe Mama, Papichulo, and La Rambla.
