Jorge Diaz-Rullo does Hipoxia (8C)

Jorge Diaz-Rullo has repeated Beto Rocasolano's Hipoxia (8C) in Navalosa. On Instagram he reports that he did it during his third session and that this was his first time bouldering in 18 months. This was the sixth 8C for the 24-year-old who last year did his first 9b+ route. (c) Lucy Walker

โ€ What an illusion to do the hardest boulder in Navalosa, one of the sectors where I started climbing and a very special place for me. There have been three sessions during the hot month of August, although in my last session I had a small window of good weather and quite good conditions, being able to do it on the first try. About the level, I have doubts since I haven't made a block for a long time and I have been testing it with enough heat for those strips, I felt it a bit easier but well, let's see what the following repeaters think.โ€
