Widowmaker 9a by Loic Zehani
Loic Zehani has done the third repeat of Widowmaker (9a) in Margalef, in just two tries. Vincent Palau bolted the five-star route and then Ramon Julian did the FA in 2015. "Another magnificent route from Margalef (purgatory). A fast approach and then a big overhang with pockets but not only. Some dynamics moves. Winter conditions this morning before the rain (1ยฐ and cloudy). Without forgetting the 10 meters between the last point and the belay it's not hard but without chalk, it was really scary. 1 try yesterday and 1 today." (c) Emile Pino

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.
