The American Natalia Grossman finished the last Bouldering World Cup of the season again as the best and also crowned her overall World Cup victory with the gold medal in Innsbruck. Hot on their heels was Germany's Hannah Meul, who won her second silver medal in a row. The podium was completed by the Japanese Miho Nonaka.
From June 21st to 26th, the best climbers in the world will compete in the disciplines of paraclimbing, bouldering and lead at the IFSC Climbing World Cup in Innsbruck. Here you will find the most important information and live streams for the competition.
We'll show you the quad stretch exercise, which stretches your thighs and hip flexors so you can climb higher.
Officially there are currently two 9A boulders: Return of the Sleepwalker and Burden of Dreams. Both have not yet been repeated. Soudain Seul was demoted once and then upgraded again, currently checking in at 8c+/9a. Unofficially there are at least two other boulder problems that belonged at the top of the list of the most difficult boulders in the world, but Shawn Raboutou does not want to reveal them yet.
Nacho Sánchez climbs his long-term project Daños con-laterales in Fortuna, Murcia and rates the boulder with 8C +. The Spanish climber needed more than 30 sessions to line up all the moves.
Dave Graham stayed in Ticino for months and devoted himself to his numerous old projects in Val Bavona. His last coup is the first ascent of Boulder Euclase (8C +).
Will Bosi succeeds in the first repetition of the 8C boulder Silent Singer in Bowder Stone. Like Aidan Roberts, who climbed the line for the first time in a short time in February of this year, the strong Brit also managed to climb it quickly. It took him three sessions to solve the boulder problem.
The two strong Americans Alex Puccio and Michaela Kiersch secure an inspection of the Boulder Tigris sit (8B+) shortly before the end of their Magic Wood trip and fill their already impressive tick list again.
What was already an issue in the run-up to this year's event is now definitive: the IFSC Bouldering World Cup in Meiringen in April 2022 was the last in this form. These are the reasons.
In cooperation with Austrialpin, we are giving away six climbing packages, consisting of a Papnu Performance Chalkbag (design DaVini or Wall Runner), a climbing brush (model Marwin) and magnesium.
The two Americans Michaela Kiersch and Alex Puccio have been at Magic Wood since mid-May and are cracking one classic after the other.
In the middle of the week Shawn Raboutou let the cat out of the bag: last summer he got the first ascent of Fuck the System (8C +) in Fionnay and thus solved one of the old problems of bouldering legend Dave Graham, the sit start of Foundation's Edge (8c) . And he secretly bouldered 9A.
From May 20th to 22nd and May 27th to 29th, the climbing elite will meet for the World Cup in Salt Lake City. Information and live streams are available here.
Ilya Bakhmet-Smolensky announces the repetition of the Fontainebleau test piece No Kpote Only and provides video evidence at the same time. However, the uncut video of his inspection is not beyond doubt.
