Ocun crack gloves a game changer
Hand crack climbing has always mean that you either spend long time taping your hands or get blood on them. Now Ocun presents their rubber gloves that in practice will be a game changer as it will make you climb harder and also that it will save you time and money, beside being eco-friendly. More info On Amazon they receive a whopping 4.7 out of 5 stars and also Adam Ondra uses them. Right now, they are only available in five sizes and it can be quite tricky to get the perfect size based on your preferences. I do not want to have them as big as in the picture and for me small was pretty tight with a hand that could be considered as pretty small.

1 WATABE Keita - GARNBRET Janja 2 CHON Jongwon - KOTAKE Mei 3 CORNU Manuel - NONAKA Mio 4 KRUDER Jernej - COXSEY Shauna 5 SUGIMOTO Rei - ONOE Aya 6 NARASAKI Tomoa - KIM Kain Complete results Interestingly, out of the first six males and females in the qualification, only Shauna and Tomoa (WC winners 2016) and Keita made it to the final. The commentators said that worse conditions in the semi compared to the qualification could possibly be the reason this.

Iuliia Kapliva from Russia and Reza Alipourshena from Iran set new world records by 7.38 respective to 5.48, winning the third stage of the Speed World Cup in Nanjing in China. Out of the Boulderers, Sean McColl was best #32 with 8.74. You had to do 6.53 to make it into the Top-16. Other than that, the problem with false start and slipping continues and almost 50 % of the time in the finals, the winner is not decided by who is the fastest. The solution for this could be that if you make a false start, you get a penalty of 0.5 seconds but at least there will be a battle. Imagine the world championship or the Olympics viewers watching just one climber jogging the route at the same time the opponent stands super frustrated below. In regards the slipping, the easiest idea is to add more foot holds and to possibly make some bigger. Complete results.

Ueli Steck dies in an Mount Everest accident
The Himalayan Times reports that the "Swiss Machine", was killed in an accident on Mount Everest. This was his last post on his Facebook page. "Quick Day from Basecamp up to 7000m and back. I love it; it's such a great place here. I still believe in active acclimatization. This is way more effective then spending Nights up at Altitude!" Ueli was known for speed climbing big mountains often solo all over the world. His plan this time was to climb Mt Everest by never repeated West Ridge/Hornbein Couloir route without using supplemental oxygen.

Watabe and Coxsey win in Nanjing
1. Keita Watabe JPN - Shauna Coxey GBR 2. Tomoa Narasaki JPN - Janja Garnbret SLO 3. Jernej Kruder SLO - Miho Nonaka JPN Complete results Excellent final with great route setting but some incidents. In the first boulder, Keita reached the top with the first hand one second before timing out but the judge gave OK for having matched and controlled in just split seconds. Even the commentators were not sure as it had previously been said that you needed "control the final hold for three seconds". The picture shows Keita just before the big cross over move and then he matched with his left hand on top. Split seconds later he got the control by the judge. Based on that the clock actually shows 2 seconds, when it is between 1 and 2 seconds left, we can conclude that Keita actually just controlled it for few split seconds before he got the ok by the judge. Further more, as in Chongqing, one topped and matched on the last volume but this was not good enough as the top hold was just a small micro. The last major incidents, besides a minor starting mistake, was that the clock stopped for Mei Kotake when only 12 seconds remained. After a small pause she was given 2 min more but could not get close to the top.

Almost 250 teenagers competed in the European Boulder Cup in Graz which was a new all time record number of participants. Austria, France and, to some extent, also Italy dominated and in fact, just these three countries won all Golds and got 13 out of the 18 medals. 97: Florian Klingler AUT - Laura Stรถckler AUT 99: Sam Avezou FRA - Sandra Lettner AUT 01: David Marco Colombo ITA - Luce Douady FRA Complete results
