Nathan Philips completes Juneru, his first 8C
Nathan Phillips, who has previously done 13 8B+'s, has done a one session ascent of Juneru (8C) in Albarracรญn. "Totally surprised to do this one in a session. It was one session but it kinda doesnโt feel like it. Another boulder I did in the UK earlier this year (Bewilderness (8B+)) has basically the exact same crux moves and since I did that Iโve been replica training so I can do the low extension (Trance (8C)).
So trying this, it kinda felt like Iโd already been on the boulder before Iโd even pulled on. The crux is getting a tiny 3 finger undercut and standing through it to punch out. Then you still have a sketchy mantle to finish which is quite scary at that height. Having perfect conditions helped too."

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.
