Creatures of Comfort 8A+ (B) by Emilie Gerhardt
Emilie Gerhardt reports on Insta that she has done Creatures of Comfort (8A+) in Vernayaz. In total, the 23-year-old has done roughly ten boulders 8A and harder in 2022.
Can you tell us more about your ascent?
Some weeks ago I saw Julius (Westphal, who took the picture) sending this boulder and was really psyched to try this one too. Unfortunately our trip was over but now we came back and I could try it too. My shoulders are always a bit weak so the first moves were the hardest for me.
It looks like you're having your best season ever?
We do not have a lot of free time for rock climbing trips due to our work in our climbing gym โSteilโ. So we can always head for few trips for just some days. But being every day in your own climbing gym to work also means you can train there a lot too. Julius and I always train together and are pretty motivated, maybe thatโs the key :)

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.
