8C by Alfons Dornauer
Alfons Dornauer, who has been #27 in one Boulder WC this year, has done the second ascent of Sierra Madre 8C in Zillertal. (c) Matthias Schiestl
"Definitely the best and hardest line so far in Zillertal. Also my hardest ascent yet. I haven`t done many really hard problems so it`s hard to compare but I think it`s either hard 8b+ or soft 8c. Amazing work by Flo Schmalzl for cleaning and making the first ascent of such a line! Also big thanks to Matthias Schiestl for the support! It seems like Zillertal 2.0 is on!!! Feeling definitely in really good shape at the moment so it's good to see that the training pays of when it doesn't really work out in competitions."

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.
