9a (8c+) by Daniel Jung in Frankenjura
Daniel Jung has done Black Label in Frankenjura giving it a personal grade of 8c+ as he found new beta. The route was opened by Markus Bock and as Alex Megos, who just repeated another of his FAs, Daniel has doubts about the use of sika.
"I have some mixed feelings about this route, the first boulder is on perfect rock, super nice, but the second boulder has one hold with Sika... I'm not sure if it's for reinforcing a thin rock struckture (what I think is just ok) or if it makes a very bad hold better. I was optimistic and I'm hoping it's just reinforced, otherwise I wouldn't be motivated to try it. But at the end I'm not sure if it is a natural hold, that's just the point why I can't feel super happy about an awesome route, if it isn't natural I can't take it as a rock climbing route."

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.
