"Man-Bod" (9a) FA by Owen Whaley, 19,
Owen Whaley, who previously has done two 9a's, has done the FA of "Man-Bod" (9a) in Mt Charleston.
"Man-Bodโ is a link-up between two existing Andy Raether routes at Robbers Roost. The climbing on the route is extremely diverse, with powerful moves at the bottom and harder technical climbing at the top. The moves were familiar to me because of climbing the two sections previously, however, linking them proved to be much more of a full-body challenge. I had a great experience trying this route and am excited to continue trying the hard lines at the crag. Robbers Roost is turning into quite the destination for hard sport climbing."

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.
