Real Absurdistan 8C (B+) by Philipp Gaรner (20)
Philipp Gaรner, who did his first out of twelve 8c+'s at age 14, has done his first 8B+ boulder and then also his first 8C, Real Absurdistan, in Kochel. (c) Basti Scheibel Video of Muttertagsdach 8B+ starting a few moves in.
"Toni Lamprecht did the first ascent of the boulder, also known as the Stoametz project, about one year ago. It is the lowest possible start of a long roof climb, that took some work to be dug out properly. The result is a true power endurance test piece, which is super fun to climb. It consists of seventeen tension and mainly very reachy moves. As far as grades go, it felt more like an 8B+, as I used a slightly different beta than Toni, which might be more efficient. It took me four sessions to complete it and there is still a harder exit version that I'm psyched to try.

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.
