8B+ and 8C by Daniel Woods in Rocklands
Daniel Woods reports on his Insta that he has done Skadoosh 8B+ and Black Eagle assis 8C in Rocklands which is originally a Fred Nicole stand start creation. (c) Oliver Kruger
"Made the 2nd ascent of this perfect font esq power compression bloc which @dave_graham_ resurrected this season (the other versions of this line have broken over the years). I've tried this line as a stand on and off for a couple years, but for some reason could not figure it out and deemed it impossible for me. Even the way @dave_graham_ did it was too morpho for my size. In the end I found this heinous heel hook for the left that allowed me to make the large span and control this dope rip off of two gaston edges. It's amazing when everything just works out haha!"
So what is your next plan?
Mmm, well now I am back in CO and just took a week off. Next is this project I have in a place called the Box which is a 9km walk in. The line I'm working is a 5 move lower start into an existing 8A. The low start will add a 8C bloc into the stand with no rest, so the full should be 8C+. I spent 3 days last year trying to link the sit (did all the moves and linked a couple at a time) but wasn't able to. Hopefully all this Rocklands training has helped!"

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.
