8B (+) by Alex Puccio 3 months after surgery
Alex Puccio has done Irreversible 8B (+) in RMNP and what makes it even more impressive is that only three months ago she had a knee surgery. In 2014, the 8a ranking game leader for five straight years, was #2 in the world championship. (c) Joel Zerr
"FFA. I think 3rd ascent in total. Daniel (Woods) put it up last year and said it was 8B/+ and Dave (Graham) did after and said 8B+. My opinion is 8B, but I do think it is a bit harder than Freaks of the Industry. Nice line, this was my second day trying it, but I have climbed on a lot of the holds because of Freaks. I climbed it basically 2 times today. I was on the V1 top out and I got really pumped and cold so I climbed down since I still can't fall yet. Finished off a few tries later!!! ๐ It's been just about 3 months since my surgery. Happy to be climbing!! Thanks crew for all the help and support and Mike for the heel hook beta!

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs 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.
