Domen ล kofic upgrades Boj za uลพitek from 8b+ to 8c+
Domen ล kofic, overall World Cup winner in 2016 and famous for climbing around the wings of a flying airplane with a parachute, just dropped a video of his send of Boj za uลพitek (8c+).
โ3rd ascent in total and 1st ascent after almost 20 years. I donโt get it because the route is one of the best routes I ever climbed :) First ascended by Sreฤo Rehberger in 1990 and graded as 8b+. I spoke with many climbers that tried the route and apparently the main crux hold broke. The first and the only repeat happened after the breakage by Klemen Beฤan in 2007. He said that 8b+ is ok for this route :)
I respect Klemen that he basically doesnโt give a sh.t about the grades. We both agree that this route is an absolute gem but I think we at least need to get the climbers with the right level to try this route to really start appreciating it. Of course itโs hard to grade it since itโs a slightly overhanging slab but I believe it ranges somewhere between 8c and 9a.
It took me two days to figure out a good sequence before starting good tries. Now with the video and beta I believe it will be much easier on the first day but stillโฆ Letโs see, Iโm curious what the next climbers will say. Just for the reference most of Sreฤoโs routes got upgraded for more than two grades (example from 7b to 8a) and with no apparent breakages ;)โ

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.
Outdoor bouldering isโฆ
