about Mantle

„ When you train almost daily then you use a fair bit of chalk. In order to give 100% in training as well as at comps, I need a chalk that gives me great grip. MANTLE provides such a chalk for me. “

Questions to Thomas

What do you usually do in your spare time?

After I come home from school, I usually go straight to training. As soon as I'm back home, it's time to study.

Give us a fun fact about you or a remarkable experience in your climbing career.

At an international comp I forgot all about the time so I had to climb my second qualification route 10min after a very big lunch. Somehow I managed to top the route but I felt really sick afterwards ;) Ever since I have been very careful with scheduling my time at comps :)

What are your long term and/or short term goals?

Possible qualification for Olympia 2024 World Cup starts in 2021
