2015 - a new level has been reached

After a few years of stagnation of grades reached by the top climbers in a year, a new level has been reached in 2015. In practice, six guys have done a 9b, some 16 guys have done a 9a+ and roughly about 60 guys have done a 9a, which is almost 50% more compared to previous years. When it comes to the performance in Bouldering, especially the of female and juniors, 2015 is the record year for boulders as well as for routes. The only discipline where we did not see any great progress was Onsight Climbing. In order to be among the best Top-10 in the world in 2015, a couple of 8b+ and some 8b's is good enough. This can be compared with Adam Ondra's nine 8c onsights in 2015. On the other hand, he has done 18 8c+ and harder onsights in total.
