Sungsu Lee does First Ley (9a+)
Sungsu Lee, who has climbed five 8C boulders since stepping away from IFSC competitions last year, has sent First Ley (9a+) in Margalef.
Can you tell us more about the trip and First Ley?
Yo, thanks! Itโs my first time in Margalefโjust a short one-week trip โ๏ธ. I sent it on my 3rd session, so psyched and pumped! Actually, one week is too short for such a massive area. There are both long endurance routes and short power routes, so I love having the choice to pick between them. I have only tried First ley. Tomorrow I think I am going to try Furia de Jabali (9a+). It is my last climbing day in Spain.

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
