8B+ and 8C by Kevin Lopata in Font

Fanatic Climbing comes with the great news that Kevin Lopata has done the 4th ascent of Misti 8C in Fontainebleau. The professional double bass musician at the music academy of Lille has also done Mรฉcanique รฉlรฉmentaire 8B+ in the forest. - "Misti is very esthetic line, with a continuous effort where I am quite comfortable in this style... Small holds, technical feet moves, resistance,... It just requires me to improve a little bit in undercling body tension...Not to bad for me. About Mรฉcanique, it's the opposite ! Big body tension, no foot, and a weird heelhook at the beginning. I like this style and I'm training a lot for that and it pays ! This 2 problems show to me that for having the success you must stay focused and work hard !"

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders. Outdoor bouldering isโ€ฆ
