8B by Mirko Caballero (12) & Ashima Shiraishi (12)

Mirko Caballero and Ashima Shiraishi have done One Summer in Paradise 8B in Magic Wood. They also both did 8A+ and 8A and Mirko plans to climb at least four times as many 7's as 8's. In the great picture by Rainer Eder, Mirko is climbing Unendliche Geschichte II 8A. Mirko is on a 10 weeks summertrip in Europe. "We had a lot of fun climbing with the Raboutou and Ruana's. Brooke also sent Pura Vida, and Shawn also did Never Ending Story 1 & 2. They were really fun to climb with and there were a bunch of young guys from Switzerland, including Sam Ometz and Guiliano Camaroni. Sam and Guiliano are really strong!" Ashima, 12 years old, is the only female who has done both 8B (boulder) and 8c+ (route); She's climbed both grades twice.
