James Squire has done Skadossh 8B+ in just 30 min and Spray of Light 8C in Rocklands. "Amazing boulder. Two sessions this trip and a few days last year. Happy! Video on his Insta with some "Ondra-screaming". How can you explain your recent peak performance? The only thing I have done differently on this trip would be investing more time into single hard boulders rather than trying to tick larger amounts of slightly easier boulder problems. This sounds simple but is mentally very difficult when you are in Rocklands and you have a million five star lines to distract you. I tried about four other 8C boulders before deciding to sick with this one, so having more patience I think is what helped most with my recent performance."

Jonathan Siegrist has done his 33rd 9a, Manphibian in Mt Charleston. "Strength endurance underclings and squeezing with a full-on slab crux finish!" More info on his Insta. Including also two 9b's and nine 9a+', the 167 cm tall climber should be in the All Time Top-10 sport climbers. Next up is finishing bolting his big multi-pitch project.

In total, the 154 cm tall has now done four routes 9a and harder including La Planta de Shiva 9b which puts her as #1 also outdoors in the history books. (c) Bernie Ruech So how do you train nowadays and what is next? Nowadays I listen what I need and what motivates me, I have no strict plan. This winter I followed strength exercises (push-ups, pull ups, muscle ups, rings) and did bouldering in the gym. I don‘t have any specific projects, I want to climb nearby my homeplace because of my working tasks I want to want to fullfill at the moment. I guess in autumn I go for a climbing trip with Bernie, but no idea where yet :-)" On Angy's Insta, Adam Ondra comments, "Mindblowing how you can jump between those distant holds on the top!"
