Boulder Mix 3 -Frankenjura- from André Behr on Vimeo.

Alex Puccio is about to take female Bouldering to a new level. She has done Nagual 8B in Hueco Tanks in just one hour. "Super psyched! 2nd try from the start. Took about an hour or less. These crimps are so sharp, but really cool movement! Another fun day!!! :)" This was also her third 8B in just four days and in the ranking game she is #19. In total, Alex has done 16 Boulders 8B and harder and in fact all of them the last 18 months. Maybe it is time to start challenging 8C?

Diego Marsella, who started climbing in 1986, has repeated his hardest route Analogica Natural Left recording it with a personal 8c+ grade. Previously he had fallen 12 times at the last move. What is amazing, he did not do any warming up beside some fingerboard and stretching exercises. (c) Manobu Yomena How is it possible to be at your peak at 44 and what is your next project? For motivation and passion for climbing. I believe climbing as a life style. I do not care the myths about the ages. I do what I love. I do not have projects beside living the vida loca.

Tendon reports that Adam Ondra has made the first repeat of Chris Sharma's Stoking the Fire 9b in Santa Linya on the last day and the last sunlight. Adam, "said that the crux was really mental battle for him and he almost fell down at the end of the route (cca 8b)." (c) Vojta Vrzba

Alex Puccio, the runner-up in the last Boulder World Championship, has done Slashface 8B, Power of Landjager 8A and Scream 7C+ in Hueco Tanks. "YES!!! So psyched, Did another 3 classic boulders today!!! This was my second day on Slashface this trip and I tried it year ago. A bit of a dream!!! :)" In spite of a knee injury, which held her off sport for about four months last year, Alex has done eight 8B's over the last year. In the ranking game she is #23.

Alex Puccio has had a productive session day in Hueco Tanks sending Crown of Aragorn 8B and two 8A+'s: Full monty and Platonique. (c) Joel Zerr "This was my first day trying the boulder, but I have done the V8 stand start years ago. Last time i was in Hueco was about 4 years ago! Too long!!!"
