Bouldering comic story up to 8B+

Antoine Girard reports from his latest trip including a nice funny video. "Instead of the Rockland trip schedule for august 2021which was cancelled due to the COVID crisis, I spent one month in Switzerland. 2 weeks in Gottardo to discover this Wonderfull area and 2 weeks in Magicwood trying to succeed in the old project. I’ve planned to try all the classic boulders of Gottardo. Hazel Grace 8B+, Bonjour Finesse 8B and Stairway to Heaven 8B+ went pretty fast but The famous slab Kingda Ka never went. After these two first weeks I drove to Magicwood to try Power of Now 8B+/C but it was a little bit disappointing because the first mouv is morph and Simon’s beta is so much hard and painful. So I decided to change my plans and I tried Ill Trill which cost me 4 sessions. I enjoyed to did some 8Bs that I let last year and trying hard in Mystic Stylez. It will be necessary to come back in this magical place to finish old projects and trying some of the nicest 8Cs of this chaos when the conditions will be cooler."
