Rammstein 8c by Katherine Choong
Katherine Choong has done Rammstein (8c) in Soyhiรจres. The 30-year-old is a former competition climber who some 30 times has been top-30 in the World Cup. She has previously done two 9aโs and several hard MPโs up to 8b+. In other words, her track record is one of the most impressive out there. (c) Laurent Enard
"I first tried this route at the beginning of 2021 and I spent a lot of time there. The route presents difficult boulder sections interspersed with easier sections and ends with a dyno on a final sloper where I knew a lot of climbers had fallen. Often too hot or wet, it is complicated to find good conditions at Soyhiรจres. This past Sunday, I was really tired after a bouldering competition the day before. But the good conditions and I had no expectations, I finally pass the bottom crux and the second one (with a one-finger pocket) and reach the top without falling in the final dyno! I am particularly happy with this climb, a route that is not in my style (bouldering and dynamic)."

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.
