Matt Fultz completes Deep Fake (8C+)
Matt Fultz has repeated Nathan Philipsโ Deep Fake (8C+) in Brione, which is a sitter to Fake Pamplemousse (8A). The 33-year-old has previously sent eight 8C+' and he is #1 in the VL ranking game.
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
Deep Fake fit me pretty well and was just the style of problem I was looking forward to trying on my Switzerland trip. It took only a couple of sessions to learn all the moves and make some good links, but there are a lot of hard moves! I fell off the last move 6 times over the following 3 sessions. Then the rain came for a week straight and I wasnโt sure if I would be able to climb again before we left for the USA. But it cleared up just enough for me to give it another session, and luckily I was able to make the most of it!

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.
