Three 8A's by Solveig Korherr in Chironico
Solveig Korherr has had a great trip to Ticino where she did Teamwork (8A), Walker on Earth (8A) and
La persistencia de la memoria (8A), "A lot of perseverance & finding the suitable beta for my size. Finally, the left heelhook stayed on :)"
The 24-year-old has previously done five routes 8c+ and harder but only two boulders 8A and harder.
Could you tell us more about the three 8A ascents?
Spending three weeks in Ticino for me as a sport climber has been the longest time bouldering outside. The three things I learned the most are that bouldering is extremely about failure, perseverance, and style dependent. After a rather rocky start and a lot of failures in the first two weeks in Ticino, Iโm glad my perseverance paid off in the end and I could send a few 8A boulders.

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.
