Wolfgang Fietz
Wolfgang “Flipper” Fietz (born November 8, 1953 in Nuremberg ) was one of the best climbers in the world in the 1970s and had a major impact on bouldering , especially in Franconian Switzerland . In many projects that were considered non-climbable at the time, he was the first to climb freely , thus laying the foundation for the performance explosion in the 1990s.
