Third 8B by Alex Puccio in June

Alex Puccio, who was fourth in the Vail World Cup, has done her third 8B during the last four weeks, Evil Backwards in Mt Evans. "Have wanted to check this boulder out for a bit now. Psyched I was able to send it in one session! Definitely harder the shorter you are.... big moves with really far feet for the crux! Had to try hard!" Measuring competitions and rock, she is together with Anna Stรถhr and Shauna Coxsey contending for being the best female boulder the last five years. In June she also won Bend Summer Comp, done her first trad multi-pitch and turned 28. "I'm not a big fan of posting glamour shots and such, but today is my B-Day and my good friend @xoxonaomiii posted this picture of me.
