Elias Iagnemma does Ephyra (8C+)
Elias Iagnemma, who the last month did the FA of The Big Slamm (9A), reports on Instagram that he has repeated Jimmy Webbโs Ephyra (8C+) in Chironico. (c) Alessandro Rinaldi
The 29-year-old Italian has sent close to 20 boulder problems graded 8C and harder, placing his ticklist among the most impressive in the world.
How do you compare the difficulty of Ephyra and The Big Slamm?
The six hardest moves on The Big Slamm, 35 sessions, is harder or equally hard as the hardest on Ephyra which took me nine sessions.
What is next?
Spots of Time (9A) in England, if the weather is good next week. Otherwise I will go to Chironico and try Vecchio Leone Sit (8C+) or Alphane (9A).

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.
