Ki a fene az a Jim Holloway? โ€“ egy morzsรกnyi tรถrtรฉnelem 1.rรฉsz
Pรกr hete egy Bubb Feri telefon kapcsรกn merรผlt fel a tรฉma, magam is meglepล‘dtem โ€“ mennyire kikerรผlt ez az รšr a mรกszรณ tรถrtรฉnelembล‘l, pedig igazรกn รฉrdemes lenne pรกr szรณban megemlรญteni. รšgy lรกtszik John Gill รกrnyรฉkรกban sajnos szรกmos kemรฉny arc elfelejtล‘dรถtt. Az ล‘ tรถrtรฉnete azรฉrt kรผlรถnรถs, mert 1975-ben (tรถbb mint 40 รฉvvel ezelล‘tt!) megnyitotta elvileg az elsล‘ 8A+ bouldert a vilรกgon (Trice), melyet aztรกn majdnem 30 รฉvig nem tudott megismรฉtelni senki. Hogy ez az รบt jellegรฉnek vagy Jim 193cm magassรกgรกnak kรถszรถnhetล‘ azt nem tudni, mindenesetre a helyiek elmondรกsaibรณl fogalommรก vรกltak a Holloway boulderek. A nehรฉzsรฉgi fokok besorolรกsรกra sajรกtos nehรฉzsรฉgi skรกlรกt hozott lรฉtre; (JHE โ€“ Jim Holloway Easy, JHM โ€“ medium รฉs JHH โ€“ hard). A Trice nevลฑ bouldert Coloradoban vรฉgรผl Carlo Traversi ismรฉtelte elsล‘kรฉnt 2007-ben รฉs fokozta be az amerikai V12 fokozatba (8A+). A mรกsik nagy vad a mรฉg kevรฉsbรฉ ismรฉtelt Slapshot ami 77-ben szรผletett รฉs az emlegetett fokozata csak azรฉrt lett 8A+, mert ez is a hรญres Holloway hรกrmasba tartozott. Kรฉsล‘bb szรกmos fogรกsmorzsolรณdรกs kรถvetkezett be, de az รบt jelenlegi 8B-re titulรกlt fokozata mรฉg megerล‘sรญtรฉsre vรกr. Az รถreg termรฉszetesen ezeket a bouldereit chraspadek nรฉlkรผl mรกszta, ami mรฉg egy fokot emel az old schoolba minล‘sรญtรฉsen. Vรฉgรผl a mรกszรกssal felhagyva emberรผnk bicikliversenyzล‘ lett, de Coloradoban mรกig ott az a tรถbb szรกz V3-V8 boulder โ€“ amit fennhagyott az utรณkor szรกmรกra. ร‰rdekes cikk az alรกbbi 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, Rรถck, 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.

8A+ again by Alex Puccio

Alex Puccio has done her 41st boulder graded 8A+, Pull the Plug in Hueco Tanks. The Silver medalist in the World Champion in 2014 has previously also done 16 8B's and two 8B+ making her the best ever female boulderer. (c) Matt Wilder "Unique climbing on this one. 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. :)"
