8C+ and 9a+ FA by Pirmin Bertle and one even harder
Pirmin Bertle, who has done six 9a's, did yesterday do his hardest route ever, which made him share the news that in April he did a 8C+ FA, Drop a line in Couisimbert and that he in August did the FA of Des scรจnes bizzarres dans la mine d'or 9a+ in Jansegg, video. Last week, he also did the FA of Mediomalomania 8C in Lindental, "but the hardest thing in my life I sent yesterday."
Interesting is that he did not climb at all during the first six months of 2014 due to having caught bone mark edema. Then he just climbed very easily for some months until he started to work only on the 8C+ boulder. Interesting is also that he only trains five hours a week and never indoors. More info on his blog and on 8a tomorrow. :)
Drop a line 8C+ at Cousimbert, the real video from Pirmin Bertle on Vimeo.

8c+ FA in Tarn by Pirmin Bertle
Pirmin Bertle has (probably) done the FA of Mehw power, 8c+ in Gorges du Tarn. "Bouldery 8a+ climbing to a moderate rest followed by a Fb7c boulder on tiny holds. To be finished in a really magnificant 8a pocket route. 10 tries." This was his 11th FA 8b+ and harder in 2010.

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.
