Camille Coudert confirms 9A for Soudain Seul with a video
Camille Coudert has publish a video on his Insta when he makes the second repeat of Simon Lorenzi's Soudain Seul 9A in Fontainebleau and he confirms the grade. Coudert says he hesitated as he does not feel to be one of the best boulderers in the world. At the same time, he says that it is his hardest boulder ever and if he would go for 8C+ then consequently some of the hardest he has tried had to be downgraded. Nico Pelorson did the first repeat and he thought it was 8C+. It should also be mentioned that the two first ascents were done with a book under the knee pad but Camille at 177 cm did not need that.
The other two 9A's in the world, Nalle Hukkataival's Burden of Dreams and Daniel Woods' Return of the Sleepwalker, have not yet been repeated. Charles Albert has also suggested 9A for No kapote only but that one was downgraded to 8C by Nico Pelorson.

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.
