Claire Buhrfeind reports on Instagram that she has done Lucider 8c+ and Omaha Beach 8b+ in Red River Gorge on the same day. The 19 year old won all the three disciplines at the Youth World Championship and she is with 8.90, the fastest female climber performing at a high level in Lead and Bouldering. In other words, she is one of the candidates for a medal in Tokyo. (c) Matty Hong

Stefano Carnati, who last year did four 9a's and Goldrake 9a+, has done his first 9a in 2017, Perfect man 2.0 in Albenga. "This year I had school exams in June and I dedicate a lot of time into studying." (c) Pietro Biagini "Props to Andrea Gallo for finding this line and Matteo for bolting and climbing it! Very nice route with good and powerful moves starting with a roof and finishing with a very overhanging wall! Took me a while to figure out all the moves. Came back today to finish it and found out a hold I used for resting and clipping broke off. Had to change beta and fortunately it worked! Felt slightly easier than 9a with the new betas. In my opinion could be 8c+9a."

Iker Pou, one of the best rock climbers in the world the last 20 years, specializing in MP's, has done the FA of Pueblo Pequeno infernio grande 8c+ in Margalef.

Lucy Humphreys has done her first 8A+, Diaphanous sea in Hueco Tanks. She has previously done four 8A's out of which three last year. Here is the video. "I can't believe it! Two weeks ago I could hardly walk properly, and today, I ticked a climb from my life list, gimpy ankle and all! Couldn't be more stoked to return to Hueco healthy to see what I can put down. I sprained my ankle four weeks before my trip, but we had already booked everything, so I decided to go anyways! The injury meant that I wasn't able to heel hook, toe hook, knee bar, or drop knee properly, which is not an easy task in Hueco. However, the biggest challenge was that I wasn't able to fall on it at all! I had to be extremely careful, and either be sure that I could do a boulder, or sort of eject from the problem onto my back! It was pretty frustrating at first, but as the trip went on I got used to it.

The seventh edition of the La Sportiva Legends Only was as always a nice show. Good job by the route setters, the athletes and the commentators. On the other hand it lasted over three hours and there were a lot of waiting to see the action. Some girls were complaining about all the shoulder moves that is a bit risky from a injury point of view. The thing the show missed was the competition feeling and the commentators did not know who won and we had to wait few minutes to get the winner, even if it actually had been decided once Shauna had secured her bonus. 1. Shauna Coxsey 3T3 5b6 2. Stasa Gejo 3T5 5b6 3. Petra Klingler 2T5 5b8 4. Fanny Gibert 2T5 4b5 5. Melissa LeNeve 1T1 4b5 6. Katja Kadic 1T2 4b8

Moritz Welt has done Zerberus, "Simply one of the best! Fell three times on the very last move in my second session, today solid first go!" and For about life for a while in Frankenjura and he agrees with the down grading to 8B. The same day he also did the FA of the left crux start variation also calling it 8B. All three went down in just some few sessions and although having done 34 boulder 8A and harder, the 16 year almost never needed to project them down. When it comes to routes, he has done one 9a and there he spent six days. (c) Franz Kaiser
