Power Slave 8A+ by Katie Lamb
Katie Lamb, who did five 8B's this summer, has done her third 8A+ during the last two weeks, Power Slave in Red Rocks. In the 8a ranking game, she is #5.
"This climb was meant to be a training step toward my big rig goal. After a session of being blown off the climb by a demon wind, I came back to bring the heat. The boundless energy of life and death was speaking through my every motion that told me to toe hook through the move I fell on previously. It was the piece of me I wish I didnโt need, chasing relentlessly, still fight and I donโt know why. Next time I crimp instead of using my hook."

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.
