Alex Raczyński has had some productive days in the Lleida area by doing two 8c+'s, Directa Cornualles in Siurana and Pal este in Margalef. The 19 year old, also onsighted Sandokan 8b in Masriudoms. Alex has previously done two 9a's, the first when he was 17.

James Webb has done the second ascent of Nalle Hukkataival's The Understanding 8C in Magic Woods. "Somehow managed to climb it in 1 session. Only had 6 pads and 1 spotter but when the problem is this good you just gotta go for it when it feels right. Literally the best boulder problem I have ever climbed. The perfect line. Nice one Nalle!" Nalle's great video. This could be the first confirmed 8C in one session meaning that there is plenty of room for an 8C+ or possibly even 9A for James. During the last month, James has done 27 boulders only counting 8A flashes and 8B redpoints and harder. No other boulderer has ever made such an impressive tick list and bear in mind that the list is based on his personal grades.

Ethan Walker has had two good weeks making two personal best by first doing Keen Roof 8B and later Belly of the Beast giving it a personal grade of 8B+. "Never fought as hard on anything before I don't think! All out on the final moves. Had turned into a slight mental battle but today with warmer temps, everything clicked liked it should. Feeling in the best shape of my whole life right now, super psyched for whatevers next! Pizza time!

There are now 5 000 crags in the 8a database. All these crags and mentioned sectors have at least 50 ascents. Now the webmaster has made it possible for 8a members to manually add crags and sectors in order to promote also smaller and new climbing spots. You find the link at the top where you add routes and boulders. Once you have done this, you can sort the climbs from Left-to-Right in order to create a Topo that is both visible in the 8A Topo and in the 8a database. We hope the App, available both for iPhones and Androids, will become the future topo bible.
