Nuthin' but sunshine 8B by Marine Thรฉvenet

Marine Thรฉvenet, #7 in the Boulder World Cup in 2014, has done her first 8B, Nuthin' but sunshine in RMNP in just two sessions. She has previously done 27 8Aโ€™s and 9 8A+โ€™s. (c) Clรฉment Lechaptois โ€œNuthin but sunshine is a super line, a compression with a technical heel hook. For me the harder was to figure out the first movement. I tried all the movements a first day and everything went well except this first move. Then, on a second day, I found a new body position for this first move and I fell off at the last move a few times. Finally on a "last try of the day" I did it ! Unexpected because the weather was pretty humid that day! We were completely in the mist. Super happy to have done such a good boulder :)โ€

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
