Kilian had a massively successful competition climbing career but he retired last year to focus on outdoor climbing.
The decision seems to be paying off because he’s now repeated two 8C/V15 boulder problems already this month – Dave Graham’s 'From Dirt Grows the Flowers' and Dai Koyamada’s 'Insanity of Grandeur,' both of which are in Chironico, Switzerland.
His wife, two time Bouldering World Champion, Anna Stöhr has been with him in Chironico and she hasn’t had a bad trip either – making the first female ascent of Bernd Zangerl's 'Boogalagga', (8B/V13). It’s not her first 8B by any means and at 27 it is unlikely to be her last.
Next we’re off to see Adam in his bat cave for the Social.
