Emelie Gearhardt does Walk the Line (8A+)
Emelie Gearhardt, who the over last two years has done roughly 20 boulders problems graded 8A and harder, reports on Instagram that she has sent Walk The Line (8A+) in Chironico.
Can you tell us more about this boulder problem?
I tried โwalk the lineโ many years ago for the first time but it felt really hard for me so I didnโt try it again. In January weโve been in Ticino for some days and I decided to give it another try after so many years. I was surprised because it felt pretty good and I was able to climb the stand start. So I was psyched to go back to Ticino to finish the sit start, and luckily [this trip] it went well!

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.
