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!

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.
