Paul Robinson does Unison (8C)
Paul Robinson, who did his first 8C, out of 28, in 2008, has completed Unison (8C) in Brione. โOne of the best!โ
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I tried unison back in November of 2024. I was immediately blown away by its aesthetic and pure difficulty. That trip I was not able to complete it and vowed to return as soon as I could.
This February, I made my way back to Ticino with the goal of climbing Unison. I felt like I was in much better shape than the previous year and began making big links really quickly. Itโs been a warm and humid spring so getting good conditions was tough but thankfully, I managed to find a window and send. Looking forward to enjoying my last week here in Europe and getting home back to Freak Show (8C) in Coal creek!

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.
