The strong German Kim Marschner managed the first ascent of Forgotten Gem (8c) in February. Now there's the video for it. The line is the famous diamond project by Bernd Zangerl and Thomas Steinbrugger in Chironico.
James Pearson gets the third ascent of the 8c boulder Juneru Sit in Albarracin. For the Briton it is the first boulder of this difficulty. At the same time, Pearson underscores his versatility as a climber with this ascent.
Two days ago, the young Japanese Ryuichi Murai made the first ascent of the Boulders Launch Pad on Mount Mizugaki. He suggests 8c + as a rating for the short and strong line.
