Received this from Natalija Gros:

The last two weekends were really great. I enjoyed them so much. For the first time I went to boulder outdoor for more days than just a quick climb on the nearest boulder. In Argentina where I was climbing Urban style was a bit different, but here in Chironico (Switzerland) where we went with the Slovenian team to train for competitions I felt so good, relaxed and calm in all that peaceful nature and granite blocs all around me. That positive energy felt so nice and inspired me. And last week I flashed 8a boulder! You should see how that looked - I came under it, saw it, watched my friends how they tried it, then put my climbing shoes on and went. And then, nothing else mattered, just me and the next hold that was before me. And I was so happy when I did it. It was the best feeling of thinking just on your next move and how you wish so much to reach the top of big granite boulder.

Now I will train more indoor, because my competitions starts already in month and a half and I want to be the best this year! But at the end of April I am going to Fontainebleau and I cannot wait to fall in love in bouldering again!
