Oriane sends and Max Bertone flashes Lazarus (8B)
Max Bertone has flashed Lazarus (8B) in Fontainebleau. โKing line !! Thanks Oriane & Adri for the beta. So happy to flash that gem.โ Video.
Four days later Oriane Bertone also sent it. โSo good to spend some time in the forest and to send this project before the summer and the comp season. Two sessions to find my beta and 2 tries at the third one to send the boulder. Thanks paps, Adri and Max (so good to see you to flash it. Congrats!).โ
Last year, Oriane won the World Cup and was runner-up in the World Championship. The 20-year-old won almost every youth competition she entered as a teenager, and her track record outdoors was equally impressive. In total, she has completed 15 boulders graded 8B and harder, as well as six routes graded 8c or 8c+, all between the ages of 12 and 16.
Her sibling, who is three years younger, has focused mainly on lead in the competition arena. He won the Euro Youth Cup in 2023, and last year he was runner-up in the Bali World Cup. At age 15, he climbed his first two 9a routes, and last year he completed his first 9a+.

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.
Outdoor bouldering isโฆ
