Sierra Blair does Captain Hook (8A+)
Sierra Blair has repeated Chris Sharmaโs Captain Hook (8A+) in Oak Flats and here is the video. โFirst send post breakโฆand possibly since 2003 pre-break haha.โ
Can you tell us more about Captain Hook?
I saw Captain Hook for the first time when I was 11 years old and remember thinking it was impossible at the time. Last season I looked at Captain Hook and saw a hold broke. I put a few tries into the boulder and once again thought it was impossible (especially with the break). I made it a goal to send Captain Hook this season and was excited to get the boulder done in a few sessions. Itโs definitely a very proud line at Oak Flat.

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.
Outdoor bouldering isโฆ
