8b+ again by Chaehyeon Seo (13)
Chaehyun Seo, who last year did her first 8b+, has done one more, The Colinator in Rifle and the 13 year old did it in only three attempts. The years ago, she also created headlines by onsighting an 8a in Kalymnos. Her father Jongkuk is a gym owner and also a successful ice climber UIAA competitor. "She climbs and trains after she gets out of school. Her training time is about 5hours a day when she does. I make her training plans and I make new climbing problems for her on the spray wall daily. I would like her to be a climber that truly enjoys climbing. Because of this reason, we go out on fairly long climbing trips every year. This trip is her 4th with me."

8C FA by Giuliano Cameroni
Giuliano Cameroni has done his fourth 8C through the FA of Hazel grace in Gottardo and the 20 year old is #7 in the ranking game. Next project is to do the logical sit start to it. "It took me around 6 days to do the first crux move, but luckily I did it only once since I knew exactly what to do on the second part. This summer was the first time I trained in a serious way (with Luca DiBiase) and I visibly see the improvement."
