Edu Marin, who won one World Cup in 2005, has had an impressive year with the ascents of Chilam Balam 9b and two 9a+'s. Apart from that, he finished his Alps project with his father. "Samsara 8b+, Lofer, (Austria). This route was opened by Alex Huber, and supposed the last route of The Marins’ Alps Project. It goes by three impressive roofs with a very technical and demanding fissures. A mixed route where you have to protect the most of the pitches with friends. I arrived to Samsara quite psychological and fiscally worn out due to we spent already two months climbing the hardest routes of the Alps (Orbayu, Digital Crack, Voie Petit ...) I knew that was the last challenge to complete successfully the project and that was even more exciting!!! Such a great experience to achieve all the goals proposed by the hand of your father, was something magic and unforgettable, the best present that we could give us each other!!"

Dai Koyamada reports on Facebook that he has done yet another 8C FA, Rokuou, which adds three moves to an 8B+/8C he did last week. In total, the 39 year old has done some 30+ 8C's meaning he has the most impressive 8C list in the world together with Daniel Woods. © Ikuko Serata

Angie Scarth-Johnson, who is on a three-month long road trip in Europe being schooled, has done her second 8c, L'Espiadimonis in Margalef. Previuosly in March, the 11-year-old has done two 8b+'s. Interesting is that Angie is the only one climbing in her family and she is her own trainer.
