Drew Ruana can't stop sending!
Drew Ruana reports on Insta that he has had his most productive week ever sending three 8C's, out of which two are FA's, plus two 8B+. In 2019, he was #8 in the World Championships. Since missing the cut to make it to the Olympics, the 23-year-old chemical engineering student has evolved into one of the best boulderers in the world. In total, he has over the last three years done more than 100 boulders 8B+ and harder including nine graded 8C+. Here is an 8a interview - Progress take patience
Can you take us through this record week you had?
Friday - Railway 8C
Saturday - Hummingbird 8C FA
Tuesday - Let the right one in 8B+ (pictured)
Thursday - Aggressive Behavior sit 8B+ Friday - Church channel sit 8C FA
Iโve tried them all a lot and they just clicked, Iโve been feeling really strong lately.
What are your summer plans?
More cleaning up and hard boulders, close to doing all the hard ones, 14 or harder, in Co. even the obscure ones.
