Adam introduces this episode of his series The Road to Tokyo: The second ascent of route Qui from Stefan Furst that had remained 23 years without repetition. I believe it was one of the hardest routes in the world at that time and Stefan was there to belay me on the ascent. Before the World Cup in Kranj, I took advantage of going outdoors for a few days as the short term goal was only lead - and for lead, it makes sense to sport climb outdoors as a small part of the preparation. And I am immensely glad I decided to do so.
