Nalle Hukkataival does Emotional Landscapes 8B+ (C)

Nalle Hukkatival reports on Facebook, "Last day, best day! Managed to squeeze in a last minute send of Klem Loskot's Emotional Landscapes 8C!! If there's one thing I learned this trip, it's that everything doesn't have to be perfect and good things happen when you least expect it! Sometimes you get a crazy head-cold, sleep for 17 hours and send your project on the last day. What a good ending to a great trip! Onto the next one!" Emotional Landscape was set up in 2002 as an 8B+ but it is a contender for being the first 8C in the world based on Nalle's upgrade. It has previously only been repeated by Martin Moser in 2004. It also has a 8A+ stand start which has been repeated several times. In 2005, Nalle was #5 in the World Championships and in 2007 he got the silver in the Euro Championships and two years later he retired from the competition scene. Based on his recent tick list, he is surely Top-3 in the world together with Daniel Woods and James Webb.

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s 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. Outdoor bouldering isโ€ฆ
