Evan Hau does the FA of John Doe's Space Adventure (9a)
Evan Hau, who previously has FAโed three 9aโs, has done the FA of John Doe's Space Adventure (9a) in Planet X. โAn extension to John Doe (7b) that I bolted in 2020 but didn't try much until this year as a fun side project. I knew it would be hard when I first bolted it and now I think it's the hardest current route at Planet X.โ
Can you tell us more about the FA?
I tried it a little bit back then but there were 2 cruxes that seemed really hard and I couldn't do it at the time. I had other projects to work on as well so I left John Doe's Space Adventure alone for a while. In 2023 I ended up spending some time at Planet X again and I felt much stronger after 2 years of training and working on Fight Club. I got inspired to work on John Doe's Space Adventure as a side project. It took me about a month to work out the beta I couldn't do in 2020 and then still another 2 months to send. Super happy with how it turned out, one of my favourites on the wall!

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.
