Paul Robinson has done House of Doom in Hueco Tanks suggesting an upgrade to 8B+ of this problem Daniel Woods put up in 2011. "Great addition Daniel! This thing is so much harder than any other 8B+ on the mountain!" It is very important to have guys like Paul Robinson and Adam Ondra who actually dare to upgrade. There are so many super lines waiting to get more traffic if just somebody would care to upgrade them.

Paul Robinson presents the Uncharted lines quality film about being a pioneer and his lifestyle which he shares with guys like Jimmy Webb, Daniel Woods, Chris Sharma and Niky Ceria, featured in the one hour film. Jimmy Webb gets the last word and sums up, "Once it is done, you are satisfied for just that moment, just that small amount of time and shortly after, you find yourself thinking, - That was sick but what is next! And that is just how we are, what we do. I don't think that will ever change."

Felipe Camargo won among 108 challengers from Brazil, Usa, Mexico, Japan, Korea, Germany the Netflix Ultimate Beastmaster. The prize was USD 35,000! "It was pretty cool! I won the show and the final was together with a Korean who is ex world champion in ice climbing!!" In 2007, the Brazilian was #27 in the Lead World Champion when he was 16 years old. Later he has done three 9a's and also two 8C boulders. He is also one of the guys that have put up many hard core routes and boulders in Brazil.

Pár hete egy Bubb Feri telefon kapcsán merült fel a téma, magam is meglepődtem – mennyire kikerült ez az Úr a mászó történelemből, pedig igazán érdemes lenne pár szóban megemlíteni. Úgy látszik John Gill árnyékában sajnos számos kemény arc elfelejtődött. Az ő története azért különös, mert 1975-ben (több mint 40 évvel ezelőtt!) megnyitotta elvileg az első 8A+ bouldert a világon (Trice), melyet aztán majdnem 30 évig nem tudott megismételni senki. Hogy ez az út jellegének vagy Jim 193cm magasságának köszönhető azt nem tudni, mindenesetre a helyiek elmondásaiból fogalommá váltak a Holloway boulderek. A nehézségi fokok besorolására sajátos nehézségi skálát hozott létre; (JHE – Jim Holloway Easy, JHM – medium és JHH – hard). A Trice nevű bouldert Coloradoban végül Carlo Traversi ismételte elsőként 2007-ben és fokozta be az amerikai V12 fokozatba (8A+). A másik nagy vad a még kevésbé ismételt Slapshot ami 77-ben született és az emlegetett fokozata csak azért lett 8A+, mert ez is a híres Holloway hármasba tartozott. Később számos fogásmorzsolódás következett be, de az út jelenlegi 8B-re titulált fokozata még megerősítésre vár. Az öreg természetesen ezeket a bouldereit chraspadek nélkül mászta, ami még egy fokot emel az old schoolba minősítésen. Végül a mászással felhagyva emberünk bicikliversenyző lett, de Coloradoban máig ott az a több száz V3-V8 boulder – amit fennhagyott az utókor számára. Érdekes cikk az alábbi linken.

The Lead European Championship starts in Italy 30/6 and in the final, the max time will be six minutes instead of previous eight minutes. Even with eight minutes in the World Cup in 2016, the females were sometimes timed out or were often forced to climb the last moves very fast, which made them fall. With a change to six minutes in the final, it is about time for Garnbret, Verhoeven, Röck, Markovic, Kim and others who want to be on the podium to change climbing style. In practice, this will mean no more hanging around, trying different beta and chalking. Right from the start they need to climb fast to save time for the more difficult finish. The other change of rules is that there will not be 4+ minutes in the boulder finals but instead a maximum time of four minutes. In practice this also means that the best boulderer should focus slightly more on endurance in their training for the Boulder WC 2017. IFSC reports that the rules handbook 2017 will be released very soon.

Alex Puccio has done her 41st boulder graded 8A+, Pull the Plug in Hueco Tanks.

Tried on one of our last days last trip and finished it off first day, first thing this trip. My tips are still healing so psyched I was able to do this one with a taped up finger. :)"
