Jules Marchaland sends Punt'X (9a+)
Jules Marchaland, who was #10 in the Briancon World Cup, has done Punt'X (9a+) in Gorges du Loup.
"Puntx was a hard mental battle for me, I fell 20 times on the last two moves (and they are not super hard). It was a bit like a dream route for me because when I was younger I always saw some strong climbers trying the route. I did it in 18 sessions and fell at the top on my 7th."
How will you prepare for the Koper WC the next weekend?
Just climb outside, and do some endurance training in the gym, classic ;)

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.
