First 8C by world champion Alexey Rubtsov

Alexey Rubtsov, the World Champion 2009 and #3 in the World Cup 2016, has done his first 8C, From Dirt Grows The Flowers in Chironico. It has been a long time project for the Russian but interestingly he did it just over four attempts on this trip. "From the beginning of 2016 I don't work, so now, for the first time I consider myself professional. So I feel myself better now, and climb better! I will try to get a ticket to Olympics, but I still don't decide if I will change my training program to become overall climber or to stay just a boulderer, that might be enough! This year I will go on all Boulder World Cup stages, World Games, maybe will try to compete in Lead once.My nearest plans are to go to ABC nationals in USA and little bit rock climbing there. After again training, because soon will be first WC!"
