Nu World 9a+/b FA by Jonathan Siegrist
Jonathan Siegrist has made the FA of Nu World at a remote new crag outside Las Vegas. In total, the 35-year-old has now done some 50 routes 9a to 9b, putting him as #6 in that list. In the annual 8a ranking game, he is #2. (c) Nate Liles
"All together I think I probably tried the route almost 50 times over 5 weeks. It took me many sessions to figure out the cryptic method through the bottom 7 bolts (itโs super resistant here - barely even a spot to clip, and absolutely no stopping for 30 moves). After this there is a small rest, and then for โNu Worldโ you climb to the right and up another 25 meters of beautiful and hard climbing, maybe ~8c. The direct will go straight up for another 30+ meters and there are several very hard boulder problems with worse rests than on Nu World. Iโm looking forward to trying it next season! But for now I need a break from the 90 minute approach... The direct finish will be crazy hard - if I can ever do the bottom again..."

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.
