Sungsu Lee ticks Floatin (8C+)
Sungsu Lee has repeated Ryuichi Muraiโs Floatin (8C+) in Mizugaki, after projecting it for 21 sessions. โ So hard for me, I felt solid V16 [8C+]. One of my dream boulders ever.โ (c) Takemi Suzuki
Can you tell us more about the ascent and the process behind?
I first started trying Floatin at the end of April 2024, when I met Shawn Raboutou for the first time in Japan. This is my third season on it, and itโs been the longest project Iโve ever worked on!
Any special training or just projected the Boulder?
I think I just got used to it after trying so many times. I didnโt do any special training, I just climbed a lot.

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.
