Drew Ruana has done three 8Cs (+) in the last two weeks!
Drew Ruana reports on Insta that in just the last two weeks he has done three 8Cs (+) in Clear Creek Canyon (CO). He started off by repeating Daniel Woods' Everyting is Gniess 8C, after having projected it for around 15 sessions. Later he did the FAs of Maxwellโs Demon sit 8C+, as well as, Fox and the Hound sit 8C.
Paul Robinson, who has been synonymous with bouldering over the last two decades, took the above picture and says, โHe is so damn strong itโs insane. Never seen something like it before!โ
In 2019, he was #8 in the World Championships. After failing to make it to the Olympics, the full-time chemical engineering student has chosen to focus on bouldering and has become arguably one of the best boulderers in the world. In total, he has done 100+ boulders 8B+ and harder including eight graded 8C+. Here's an interview 8a did with Drew a little while back, 8a interview..
