La Rubia 8c+ by Arne Farestveit (17)
Arne Farestveit, 187 cm tall, has done his first 8c+, La Rubia in Villanueva del Rosario.
"I started climbing at around 11 years old, and have always been drawn to outdoor climbing the most. I went to Villanueva Del Rosario (aka Chilam Balam cave) during Christmas and tried La Rubia about 5-6 sessions but wasnโt really close. This trip, however, I felt way stronger and managed to do big links already on my first day. 3 sessions this trip, so in total 7 or 8 sessions. My goal was to climb 8c+ before I turned 18 and I managed to do so with a few weeks to spare. Super happy right now..."

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.
