Clรฉment Lechaptois does The Story Of 2 Worlds (8C)
Clรฉment Lechaptois has repeated Dave Grahamโs classic The Story Of 2 Worlds (8C) in Cresciano. The name of the Boulder comes from the intense grade inflation back in 2005, which actually basically stopped after Daveโs article on 8a.
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
Tried the boulder on and off from time to time over the seasons and I often felt close but never finished it off. I am here in Ticino for a while and the weather isn't great for now, this one is probably the first one to get dry after the rain so I took my chance the other day and it ended up well I guess! I climbed it from Dave's OG start and with kneepad.
What is coming up next?
I am here in Ticino for at least one more month, super psyched to enjoy the tons of boulders the area has to offer and maybe try some projects. I had a look at Story of 3 worlds and it's really fun, so I might try again as it's gonna rain again ๐ I have some stuff in mind but for know the plan is to not make too much plans and get in good shape.

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.
