Matthew Mendes ticks Trance (8C)
Matthew Mendes, who two weeks ago flashed Dandelion Mind (8B/+), has repeated Will Bosiโs Trance (8C) in Peak District.
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
The process on Trance was much shorter than I was expecting only taking 3 sessions after sending Bewilderness (8B+) . Though, in these sessions I had very little attempts due to issues with skin and some holds being wet. In the end I only had a total of about 5 send attempts on the boulder before I ended up sending. I also got very unlucky on an earlier attempt falling on the last move due to tape sliding off my finger tip.

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.
