Ω Out from under his rock, Ivan Vostinar (also known as “The Beast from the East”, “The Floating Czech” and, amongst certain numbers of the fairer sex, “Vos The Sos”) has opened a new V9 in the Bronx Cave at Turakirae Head. The problem, Baguette, is a second variant to Toast, climbing slightly right of the main problem. With extremely impressive form on plastic, it is only a matter of time before the Vos opens something truly hard at the Rak. Watch this space Ω









Of course, the first variant to Toast was climbed by Ivan’s countryman and creative scorekeeper, Jan Zbrebraneka. It’s called Honza On Toast and goes at around V8.
