Adrian Houbron completes the To do list (9a)

"The route was bolted and climbed for the first time a few years ago by Mathieu Bouyoud. It is really different from the usual style of la Balme de Yenne as it is a slightly overhanging wall with no kneebar or tufa, just pure climbing on small holds. The route starts with a hard boulder problem with a shoulder movement on crimps right after with no rest. There is a section of pure power endurance climbing of approximately 20 moves. The end of the route is not that hard (around 8a), but it is nice to climb and it goes to the very top of the cliff."

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.
