Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I tried this one before the snow started in the fall and thought I'd do it quickly! Went for a few really promising sessions, then spent the winter trying to get weather windows pretty unsuccessfully. Got COVID and was out for a month. By the time I made it back, my old beta felt really awful and I was pretty discouraged. Luckily, some friends helped me with a new method and I managed to do it before it got too hot!
What are your spring and summer plans?
I'm going back to Colorado for the month of June to try to finish up Evil Backwards (8B) from last year in Mount Evans! Got super close last year and had to walk away because it was hurting me, hoping that doesn't happen again! If that goes well I'll also go try some things in the park:) no other major plans!

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.
