Sam Weir ticks Child of Hell (8C) in a session
Sam Weir, with three 8C+โ under his belt, has repeated Shawn Raboutouโs Child of Hell (8C) in Gottardo. โKing lines only this summer ๐ 3rd go. First 8C in a session. Not sure on the grade. Really basic shoulder stability and tension bloc.โ
From his Insta video, you can see it rains a lot during the send. What about the friction and the top out?
It had been raining about twenty minutes and knew I had one last try. Glad it worked out! My skin got really cut on the second try due to the humidity but knew I could not try the next day so went all in on a last try. The top out is easy but I was quite scared. Definitely a no fall zone. But I knew I had it and if I had any doubt I could back off and have asked for the rope
What is next?
Just day dreaming about Poison the Well and continuing to train for the fall with my friends. I really would like to start the saga on arrival of the birds as well. But need to finish up PTW first before I change zones :)

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.
