Maggie Odette has done the FA of Fight Club 8b in Logan Canyon. (c) Heidi Baxter " It's a new link-up of The Big Brawl (8a+) into the Bulletproof Monk (8b+) finish. It adds a third boulder crux. The bolts for the finish were actually placed by Jeff Pederson when he put up the original line, he never bothered with that section and opted to exit to the left on Sportfest (7c) instead."

Carlos Logroño has opened an old A2 roof in Vadiello calling it La fuerza de la Gravedad 8b+. The 47 year old, who recently has done both 8c and 8c+, started trying it two years ago but until this last season he really did not think it could be done. "The gear was pre-placed because the rock is not very solid. It is the strangest thing I have climbed in my whole life."

Gabriele Moroni has done his second 8C by repeating Nico Ceria's Ziqqurat in Gaby. On Instagram he reports, "After day one I got completely hooked and felt the need to go to try it whenever I had some free time from work. The process on this boulder has been crazy. From not being able to even do all the moves on day1 to do all the moves and pretty decent links on day2, to actually falling twice at the last move on day 3 and 4. Then on day 5, alone, I managed to put all my physical and mental energies in one single try."

Fanatic climbing reports that Yann Ghesquiers has done his fifth 9a by the FA of , Crotte de geek in Ailefroide. Interesting is that he actually started to climb at this crag 40 years ago. In 1991, he was #11 in one Lead World Cup. (c) Jan Novak
