We are 100.000!
On December 30, 8a has reached the benchmark of 100.000 members. We are impressed, surprised and happy! Such an overwhelming response would have seemed like a wild dream when 8a went online as a local site in 1999.
And what a colorful bunch we are!
In 2021, the 8a-community logged 524.971 ascents in 95 different countries. The favourite grade climbed was 6c / 6c+. Much has changed in two decades, one thing hasn't:
8a has always been a project โfrom climbers for climbersโ - and it will continue to be so.
We want to thank all of you for making 8a what it is!

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.
