Kerry Scott and Maya Madere redpoint Still Life (8c)
Kerry Scott and Maya Madere, who last November both ticked their first 8c, Trebuchet (8c), continue their team redpointing by doing Still Life (8c) in Summersville Lake. (c) Colette McInerney
Kerry: โStill Life is a short, bouldery route at the NRG. It has a heart breaker last move- a huge jump off a credit card crimp- that I fell on for over 10 attempts before sending. Maya Madere and I started working it together in November, and we returned in March and again in April to try and send. Normally, I feel like everything has to go perfectly in order for me to send a route, but the send caught me by surprise. I had split [finger] from the attempt before, so I had Tension tape on my index finger, and the route felt the hardest it had felt in a whileโฆ. But somehow I managed to pull it together! Maya also sent, which was the cherry on top of a great week.โ
Maya: โDream team send with Kerry Scott, my hardest & proudest ever. Absolutely stellar line. I use an intermediate edge to bump to the big gaston in the roof and deadpoint right hand off the iron-band crimp for the last move.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.
