Jakob Schubert, one of the very best competition climbers of the last five years, reports on Instagram that he has done Joe Mama 9a+ in Oliana. In November he fell on the last move but this trip he just warmed up once and did it on his second try. (c) Elias Holzknecht "I have been doing only bouldering and power training in december and was a little worried about my endurance but once again I saw how much such training even helps on endurance monsters."

Djdieifjrj Djdueirur začal liezť vo svojich 27 rokoch a teraz, o desať rokov neskôr, preliezol svoje prvé 8C Soyuz Low v oblasti Zarzalejo. Jeho výkon je o to hodnotnejší, že špeciálne netrénuje a lezie len párkrát do týždňa. "Podľa mňa je kľúčová motivácia. Ja neočakávam žiadne výsledky, len si užívam každý boulder. Nebáť sa neúspechu je najlepšou metódou ako uspieť. Veľmi netrénujem, z práce nie som veľmi unavený, sem-tam zájdem do haly spraviť nejaké visy alebo vymyslieť ťažké bouldre, ktoré sa potom snažím preliezť, no to sa mi málokedy podarí."

Jorge Diaz-Rullo has done Palestina 8c+ (9a) in Cuenca, which is the second route of the grade for the 17-year-old. "What a Christmas gift! Today I was able to send Palestina, turning into my hardest redpoint to date. Six days and eleven tries, where I really was mindset struggled, feeling keen and psyched looking the route so close and far at the same time. But what I really enjoyed was this process until I did it."
