A while ago Jan Hojer spent some time in Ticino, Switzerland, where he made quick work of some of the area's best and hardest problems.

Now Jan and Lukas Biniossek have made a short video from the clips Jan shot. It includes a couple of impressive flashes and, the highlight, his quick second ascent of Nalle Hukkataival's Off the wagon, ~8B+/C.
When Jan does it, it looks more like 6C though...

What a beast ! It would be nice to see Nalle's ascent too, cause Jan didn't seem to find the rubber-marks for the feet. I wouldn't be surprised if Jan never ever had resoled his climbing-boots. Congrats to both!

Thumbs up to this, excellent vid. "holding a pinkie front lever" is a good source of euphemistic ammunition, I'm sure a lot of us less talented scramblers do the same sort of thing...discretely......
