Colin Duffy sends Bookkeeping (8C+)
Colin Duffy has made the first repeat of Drew Ruana's 25 move Bookkeeping (8C+) in Clear Creek Canyon (CO), video.
"Climbs Off the Books (8A) into Spidey (8B+), finishing on No Way Home (8A+). Despite being a linkup, the movement is quite nice and it flows well. Did not expect to send this one at all, I just had one of those days where everything was clicking and I was able to execute. As far as the grade, I don't have much input because it is extremely my style and I haven't tried any other hard boulders in this style. A route grade might be equally as appropriate as a boulder grade for this one. Hopefully, this thing can get more repeats in the future!"
The 19-year-old has previously done four 8B+ boulders and two 9a's. In the Olympics, he was #7 but mathematically speaking, if he had not false started by a mere 0.005 seconds in Speed, he would have won the gold. Last year, he won both Lead and Boulder in the Innsbruck World Cup.

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.
