Sam Weir ticks Tagada 8B+ (C)
Sam Weir, who had his best year last year sending seven boulders 8C and beyond, has repeated Tagada (8B+) in Chironico. โ2nd ascent. Harder than all my 8C of last year so I suspect this one is regular 8C.โ
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
Tagada is a small power boulder revolving around an undercling opened by my friend Clรฉment Lechaptois a few years ago. After a few sessions I managed to work it out. Clem opened it at 8B+? but it was harder than the 8Cs of last year for me so I think this could be more in the 8C range. He is out there fighting grade inflation all alone ๐คฃ

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.
