Nicholas Allan ticks Spray of Light (8C)
Nicholas Allan, who last week did an 8C FA, has sent Spray of Light (8C) in Rocklands. The 18-year-old did his first 8A+ at age eleven, first 8B+ at age 15 and last year he did his first 8C. (c) Axel Janata-Burns
Can you tell us more about Spray of Light?
I first tried this boulder last year and was immediately psyched by how doable it felt. I unfortunately wasnโt able to get back to it that year but it was high up on my list for this season.
Coming back at the start of this year, it already felt better than last time. On my second session this year, I dialed in my beta for the top and managed to execute and send it by the end of the day. Very happy with my progress lately, starting to feel levelled up!
What is next?
Iโm not sure yet, but I have a lot of boulders in mind for the rest of season and have plans to travel and climb overseas next year.

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.
