Eva Hammelmรผller ticks 5 stars Folies Bergรจres (8c+)
Eva Hammelmรผller, with 46 routes 8c to 9a under her belt, has done Folies Bergรจres (8c+) in La Saume. โThis route is CRAZY!!!! everything - the approach (you start at the 2nd pitch), the location (a perfect little ledge high above the ground), the rock quality, the moves, the slab climbing, even the runouts are absolutely crazy :D I think it deserves the plus compared to the other 8cโs in the crag and the 8c+โs Iโve done recently, but curious for more opinions!โ
The following day the 25-year-old sent the 55m long Je suis vindicatif (8c). โAt first I was not sure whether I should try this route, as it links two routes Iโve already done, but the connection pary follows an obvious line which is amazing to climb!! Plus, the new moves are the hardest of the route, so you have a totally new crux section. Made myself the challenge of not checking out the upper part of Lou Merzou, and managed to retro-flash it on my send go!!! Really soft for the grade imo.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.
