9a+/8C by Jernej Kruder

Jernej Kruder, who was #2 in the Bouldering World Championship in 2014, reports on Instagram with a great picture by Luka Tambaca that he has set a new personal best on his 25th birthday, "By far the hardest thing I ever sent. I won't consider it as a boulder, cause it's a 60+ moves long beast, so I just propose my personal grade as 9a+ route. For those who don't consider it as a route, you should call it a hard 8C boulder problem. Even though there are some small limitations it's still an astonishing line that I'm very proud of. Short description: 7C+ boulder problem into 13 long moves on quite good holds in almost a roof and straight to an 8A boulder problem in just two very difficult moves. After that you just need to be a bit focus for the last 7B+ boulder or you could say 8a route.
