8B+ again by Christof Rauch

Christof Rauch has done his tenth 8B+ in 2015, Traumschiff in Zillertal, which is kind of amazing as this year he also did his very first problem of this grade. "One of the best and hardest boulders in the valley. Amazing riverslopers and one really sharp crimp. Took me 4 sessions to complete." The 21-year-old is #2 in the world ranking game but when it comes to having done most 8A's and harder he is superior with almost 100 of them. Based on his trend diagram, showing extreme progress the Austrian has had in the last few years, there is a possibility that in a couple of years he could set new bouldering world standards.
