The Lead European Championship starts in Italy 30/6 and in the final, the max time will be six minutes instead of previous eight minutes. Even with eight minutes in the World Cup in 2016, the females were sometimes timed out or were often forced to climb the last moves very fast, which made them fall. With a change to six minutes in the final, it is about time for Garnbret, Verhoeven, Rรถck, Markovic, Kim and others who want to be on the podium to change climbing style. In practice, this will mean no more hanging around, trying different beta and chalking. Right from the start they need to climb fast to save time for the more difficult finish. The other change of rules is that there will not be 4+ minutes in the boulder finals but instead a maximum time of four minutes. In practice this also means that the best boulderer should focus slightly more on endurance in their training for the Boulder WC 2017. IFSC reports that the rules handbook 2017 will be released very soon.

8A+ again by Alex Puccio

Alex Puccio has done her 41st boulder graded 8A+, Pull the Plug in Hueco Tanks. The Silver medalist in the World Champion in 2014 has previously also done 16 8B's and two 8B+ making her the best ever female boulderer. (c) Matt Wilder "Unique climbing on this one. Tried on one of our last days last trip and finished it off first day, first thing this trip. My tips are still healing so psyched I was able to do this one with a taped up finger. :)"

Neลกลฅastnรฝ pรกd v Oliane - varovanie!
Ofer Blutrich sa aktรญvne venuje preisลฅovaniu, robeniu novรฝch ciest, รบdrลพbe a vzdelรกvaniu verejnosti v Izreali. Prednedรกvnom vymenil na najpopulรกrnejลกom 7c v Oliane vลกetky erรกrne expresky za novรฉ Black Diamondky. "Len pre pokoj duลกe. Uลพ som sa na vลกetky tie nebezpeฤnรฉ expresky nemohol pozeraลฅ."

Local Slovenia comp with world class participants
Stefan Wraber reports from the latest stage of NLP League that started in 2009. Beside the impressive podium also Staลกa Gejo, Mina Markovic, Mia Krampl and Julija Kruder participated. 1. Gabriele Moroni - Janja Garnbret 2. Jernej Kruder - Katja Kadiฤ‡ 3. Domen ล kofic - Mia Krampl "An idea by Urh ฤŒehovin and Gregor ล eliga, their goal was to establish an amateur boulder league, without a lot of organisation, route setting and prizes, just color taped boulders on otherwise full wall. Since our gym is small (some 200m2), we have to have holds everywhere. The rules were simple... Climb as many boulders as you can, no bonuses, no counting tries, just get a hold of that last hold! Share a beta, cheer for your friends and most of all, enjoy the climbing. The best 8 boys and 8 girls enter the evening finals. Throughout the years NLP was very well accepted in our climbing community due to its laid back nature, excellent boulders and final show, always a spectacle due to a DJ, light show and an energized vibe from the crowd. And sometimes with a funky dress code, that adds to non formality of the league." More great pictures.
