Cinderella is Dead 8A+ (B) by Alex Johnson and Allison Vest
Alex Johnson and Allison Vest have done in . Both women are having their best year ever having sent some ten boulders 8A+ and harder the last 12 months.
Alex: "Psyched about this one! When Vest and I first started trying this together we each literally couldnโt do any moves haha. It was one of those climbs that just came together a little more each session, in true projecting fashion. We put a few days of work in together but ultimately each sent solo on back-to-back days which was pretty cool. Very stoked to keep checking more off the list, and keep the send train chugging along together. Itโs so motivating to have a best friend you can project with at your limit."
Allison: "Such an experience to project this one with AJ. The first time we tried this boulder together we legit could barely do a single move between the two of us. This boulder gets graded all over the place but even with all the varieties of betas we still both thought it felt very hard and it took us both about half a dozen sessions. We projected it together a lot but in the end, we sent on back-to-back days up there alone because our schedules didnโt quite line up. Love projecting with Alex, it makes me a better climber."

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.
