Rolex Direct 8c by Noa Shiran
Noa Shiran becomes the first woman from Israel to do an 8c with her ascent of Rolex Direct in Nezer Cave, video. The professional climber, who was #15 in one World Cup in 2022, needed three sessions for her send.
"I found some time to go outdoors after the comp season. I don't climb on rock very often but this route looked really cool with the overhang and the powerful dynamic moves so I chose to try it. It took me two sessions to understand that I can do it soon, and on the 3rd day I managed to send it dealing with bees that settled their beehive inside the kneebar rest before the last boulder problem. They acted friendly but were all around me so it was quite terrifying ๐"

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.
