8B+ and eight 8A's and harder in a day by Baptiste Ometz (15)

Baptiste Ometz who last year won one Euro Boulder Youth Cup has had two amazing weeks having done Fauler Wili 8B+ in Valle Bavona and five 8B's in Magic Wood. During one day he did seven boulder 8A and harder. The 180 cm 15 year old did his first 8B when he was 11 years old. The reason for the rather slow progress until the last week are numerous injuries like like broken wrist, toe problems and meniscus. Since February he has been OK bouldering four times a week. Baptiste's says his Easter tick list, including eight 8A's and harder in a day, could have been much longer.On the last day, everything was dry and I could try many boulders and somehow send most of them really quickly. I wanted to climb many more 8a’s, but I unfortunately made a huge split.
