Silvio Reffo who previously has done three 9a's has done the FA of The ring of life 9a (+) in Covolo. " I took me maybe 12 days, 7 last year not being even close. This year after some months of hard training I was be able to do the route after 4 days of tries. The first part of the route is very bouldery 8c+/9a and I needed lot of body power to do that... This was the key for the success." The next plan is to open some more hard projects on nearby crags and also to do some multi-pitches. "Near Arco there is a beautiful wall with lot of MPs. I'd like to do 3 hard routes in the same day, 25 pitches with more or less 15 of them more of 8a or harder. One of them is an open project; Viaggio su Plutone, I think 8b+/c max.

Daniel Fuertes has done his 4th 9a, Fabela pa la enmienda in Santa Linya. The previous three weeks, he has done one 8c+ and two 8c's including one personal grade. (c) Manabu Yoneyama

Alex Puccio has had a great start of her trip to Ticino by doing really quick two 8A's and Walk the Line 8A+ in Chironico. "Took an hour or so. really fun climb and a little scary at the end. :)" Alex, who has only missed being Top-10 once out of 27 Boulder World Cups, has previously done 15 8A+ and 40 8A's. On the picture she is working the moves on Shadowfax 8B. Interesting interview by Cruxcrush.

Nalle Hukkataival reports on facebook, "We've had some warm days here in Font, but I managed to get the 2nd ascent of La Toupie Carnivore (8C) yesterday! Still took me a full session of jumping until everything clicked on the crazy crux dyno, but managed to do it in two days! Big props to Guillaume for opening such an incredible boulder! As for the grade, a stout Font 8B+ may be more accurate but even at that grade, it has one of the hardest dead-points in the world!" (c) Neil Hart

Adam Ondra has had a great day in Adlitzgraben where he onsighted his 8c (and harder) #46, Selbst ist das Kind and did his 9a (and harder) #90, Napalm in the Morning. The second ranked persons in these categories have done one third of Adam's Tick List. "Brilliant line, but it all comes down to two single moves. FA by Berni Fiedlernsome years ago, some holds have broken since then supposedly and hasn't been reclimbed. It could be harder than the neighboring Erfolg ist trainierbar,but I have no clue about the grade of that one either. Maybe just hard 8c+
