Andy Lamb ticks IMAX (8C)
Andy Lamb, with four 8C+โ to his name, has repeated Ethan Salvoโs IMAX (8C) in Squamish.
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
IMAX is a sick new one put up by Ethan last year. All comes down to a big jump to a good crimp at the top. Hands are good but it's hard to generate on the feet. Really nice line.
What are your 2026 plans?
Got a few international trips planned for this spring and summer. Might be moving later this year, so I'm trying to take advantage of my last spring in Squamish too

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.
