Anna Kelley sends Euro Trash (8A+)
Anna Kelley, who was 8th in the Youth World Championship last year, has done Euro Trash (8A+) in Little Cottonwood.
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I had done the V10 [7C+] (Euro Roof) start back the in fall, but at the time the moves of the V12 [8A+] felt out of reach. With the weather being so nice in Utah, I really wanted a day outside on rock before the world cup season began, so I decided to go back and see how the moves on the 12 felt.
The crimp on the 10 has also broken twice since I last did it, but it honestly didnโt seem to change the difficult that much. I ended up learning the moves on the 12 pretty quickly, and was able to send after a few tries from bottom. I definitely want to come back in the fall for the V13 start!

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.
