Christof Rauch, who has done 98 boulders 8A and harder in the last year (probably most in the world), has done two more 8B+'s in Magic Wood: Ill Thrill and The Never Ending Story, "Maybe the problem which took me the most time! Fell much more than 50 times on the first move of the second part. Once I got that first move I did it. Superhappy now!!! Amazing line and awesome moves, no more words needed!" Is there anybody else who has done more than 100 boulders 8A and harder in one year? It should be mentioned that the Austrian often gives personal grades. In 2014, James Webb did 146 boulders 8A and harder which probably is All time high.

Nico Pelorson, #2 in the Youth World Championship this year, has done his second 9a FA in St Pancrasse, La 9ème centenaire. - It is a perfect route, totally natural that was bolted by Quentin Chastagnier There are two sections. The first is really hard and short (drop-knee, heal-hooks above the head...) This section is about 8B boulder I think. Then, you have done the harder part but there is again an 8b crimpy which finishes with an horrible slab. It took my seven sessions for redpointing it.

CTeam.si comes with the amazing news that Janja Garnbret has done Miza za šest 8c+ at Kotecnik, which is a link up of an 8b and 8b+ that she has done before. The 16-year-old has competed in the Lead WC twice in 2015 and both times she was #2. She has also won the Youth World Championship in both bouldering and lead this year. The next weekend, she is competing in front of her home crowd in Kranj and what a sweet story it could be if she handled the pressure and won. (c) Luka Fonda
