Mark Katz recently ticked his project of 11 years - Director's Cut 8B at Parisella's Cave. A full-time teacher, Mark hasn't let work get in the way of performing to a high standard in bouldering, with hard ascents around the world in South Africa, the US and Europe up to 8B.
What does it take to dedicate years of effort to a project whilst keeping up a full-time job? We got in touch with Mark to find out more...
In reply to UKC News:
Great result Mark, nice to see people climbing at the top end for years, and combining it with full time work and getting results for all the effort. 40 is nothing, plenty of inspiration from people closer to 50 and beyond.
