Moritz Welt, who did his first 9a two years ago, has done his fourth, Styleboys in Frankenjura. "Surprise ascent - 3 more tries after Sever and Sick Boy - perfect endurance linkup. Two days later the 18-year-old did his sixth 8B+, Urlaub fürs Gehirn also in Frankenjura. "Second ascent. Fabi's Masterpiece!" In the Combined ranking game, the young German is #2. The picture by Lars Decker is from a project Moritz has been working on for three weeks. It is an old Frankenjura line so it should be rather hard which possibly has to wait until spring as he travels to Spain on Thursday.

Adam Ondra, who will compete in Kranj this weekend, has done his 12th 8C, Ghost Rider in Moravský kras. "2nd ascent after Martin Stranik. Amazing problem, lower start is waiting..."

Jesús Muñoz (Chuchi), who this spring did his first 9a, has done his second 8C in Hoya Moros, Eterno Legado. The FA was done by Alberto Rocasolano as an 8B+/C but later a hold broke making it harder. It is located at 2 400m altitude one hour from Salamanca with a 90 min approach. In total there are some 850 boulders up there (c) Víctor Rodríguez "After some rainy weeks, the weather was better and I could go back to Hoya Moros. Although it was a little wet day, the cold temperature counteracted it. After some attempts falling into the last movements, in my last try, I was able to link the 20 movements to sent it. It has been a long process from July to complete all the lines and combinations of this rock. I am very happy to have finished this process before the snow cover everything. However, before this happens I hope to send more projects in this area. Let's keep going!"

Wojtek Pełka, who just turned 20, has done his first 9a, Black Cobra (2) in Herculane. Adam Ondra put it up last year saying that there is a possible extension and variations... "to be continued". "What an amazing wall! So glad to repeat this endurance monster with some spicy long pulls. I was in Baile Herculane for two weeks trying the route for 6 days since I've realized it's the only alternative in this quite virgin area. I wasn't sure if it was possible to send it at first sight, in spite of doing all the moves. But my girlfriend and friend persuaded me to give it a chance. As at got cooler - around 20 degrees I managed to send it.
