Gabri Moroni, reports on his Insta that he has made the FA of The Party is Here. (c) Paolo Sortiri "Then, after 8 days of work, when nothing seems to work anymore, on my 4th try of the day and pretty bad conditions, I fought my way up, managed to stick the move I fell countless times and kept it together! Another great moment I will hardly forget..."

Kai Harada, Boulder World Champion in Innsbruck, is last out on the final route that looked too easy as three had topped before him. It seems he is on cruise mood until he falls as he could not hold the top jug. If he had topped he had won but now he did not even get a medal. Furthermore, if Kai had won he would have been the favorite to win overall as he just needed to be #6 the next weekend to overtake Adam, who will not compete. Instead, Adam secured the overall title although just participating in three events out of which he won all. (c) Eddie Fowke 1. Adam Ondra CZE Top 2. Taisei Homma JPN Top 3. Tomoa Narasaki JPN Top

Three tops and three girls falling from the last hold, including Janja Garnbret, and at the end Chaehyeon Seo (15) got her fourth straight victory, on countback, and secured the overall title. The 15-year-old topped all four route with ease as it looked. Talking about the Olympics, Seo has not participated in any Boulder WC's so her only possibility to make it will be through the Asian Combined Championship. Including also all the Tops and ties in both the semis and quallies, the route setting must have the worst separation since IFSC started with World Cups in 1989. Both coaches and athletes are using the word scandal to describe what they just witnessed. (c) Eddie Fowke 1. Chaehyon Seo KOR Top 2. Akiyo Noguchi JPN Top 3. Jain Kim KOR Top Complete results

Obed Hardmeier has done his second 9a in Gimmelwald, Alpenbitter. "I tried Alpenbitter for the first time in June this year. In July and August I had to focus on exams for my full-time study. After the exams, I was very motivated for rock climbing again, so I started projecting Alpenbitter and made good progress. All in all, it took me seven sessions until I could climb this great line. The first section consists of some powerful moves to a bad rest point, from where you climb into the crux (maybe a 7C/+ boulder problem of four moves). After a good rest, the last few meters to the anchor are no more harder than a 7c route. Today, the conditions were exceptional with stormy winds and very dry holds. Special thanks to all the people who have been supporting me these days – it is a great privilege to climb together with a super motivated "Gimmelwald-Crew"!"
