Too Far to Handle 8B FA
and Holy Cow 7C+ FA
•
•
I never thought I would find such a nice, unclimbed boulder in the middle of Magic Wood. About a year ago, I had the idea, but I thought the holds were too far apart. However, in January, after a session on Wovenhand, I decided to try it and realised it's amazing! The last move is definitely the crux move when starting from the ground. I fell there many times.
•
•
I knew there would be a left exit as well, so after I did 'Too Far to Handle', I could also complete Holy Cow. It's not the most logical line, but the moves are really nice.

The never ending story [8B+] ✔️

What a day!

First stop: Dark Sakai 8B, one I’d already tried back in summer and sent on the first go today. Then straight to UG 8B+, and boom, another send.

After that, I hiked back up the hill and worked on Wovenhand 8B. Managed to climb it in two parts, but no send yet. no triplesend😂

My goal is to top out UG, and after finally linking part 1 and 2. I’m starting to believe the full line might actually be possible.

Mystic Forest 8B FA
•
Wow, what a boulder, 4-5 hard moves on perfect Blausee rock 😍 I had the first session a year ago on Mystic Forest. I was super psyched when I did the kneebar move in my first session because I felt the boulder was possible. Last spring the boulder wasn't dry and I knew I had to wait for snow or colder temperatures. So this winter I had 4 sessions with perfect conditions. Colin and I found an easier beta for the crux move, which made the boulder much better. In the end it worked perfectly and I'm glad I sent it and didn't fall on the icy topout.
•
About the grade: The boulder felt harder than all the 8A+ boulders I have done so far. But is it enough for 8B? I don't know and I don't think it's important because it's a damn nice boulder and it's one of my proudest ascents so far.

"Hulk" 8B FA ✅️ and "Venom" 8A+/B FA ✅️
•
Powerful and amazing moves on riverpolished Magic Wood rock.
•
Last spring, together with @natontheblocs , we first ascended some really cool boulders in Rofla. Back then, I already saw this block. This summer, I started trying it, and it took me two sessions to find a beta for the first five crux moves. Today, I could FA both boulders. The left exit (Hulk) is a little harder i think.
•
In general, I struggle a little to figure out what my style is and what isn’t. So I think if this suited my style, the grades should be fine. If not, maybe a little easier. Let’s see what other climbers think.

New Boulders at the San Bernardino Pass.

After climbing Highway to Hell, I found this amazing block in a beautiful setting at the San Bernardino Pass. On my second session, David joined me, and together we managed to climb some really good boulders.

Highway to Hell 8A FA✅️
•
What an amazing wall!
•
After doing Dreaming a Life Together and Good Things Fall Apart, I got the chance to make the first ascent of this link-up. Both individual boulders are already amazing and were first ascended by @filippo_sala_ . In Highway to Hell, you climb both cruxes in one line. In my opinion, this wall offers some of the best crimp bouldering I have ever done. If you like high boulders, you should definitely check it out.

The process on "Too Far to Handle" 8B FA
•
•
In my first session I did all the moves and I thought I could send it fast and it wouldn't be too hard. When I started giving tries from the ground I realized how powerful and technical at the same time this climb is. I only had 4–5 good attempts per session and I only reached the dyno once or twice per session. At the beginning I arrived at the dyno way too tired to even move a little. Slowly I made progress and after 7 sessions I could stick the dyno from the ground.
•
Grade-wise it felt harder than any other 8Bs I have done so far, but I'm not sure if it's enough for 8B+. Guess time will tell.

Unità di produzione [8A] ✔️🔥
•
•
First time in Val di Mello for bouldering, and this was the first boulder I saw. I had to climb it. It just looks so good.
Conditions weren’t ideal, and neither was my crimp power. I pretty quickly destroyed my skin after falling several times on the mantle, but I still wanted to send it. In the end, it turned into a real fight on the mantle.
•
King lines everywhere in the valley, I’ll definitely have to come back!

Mitholz-Inferno 8A+🔥
•
•
After trying the crux move with the classic beta a couple of times, I realized there was another option where it wouldn’t be a one-move problem anymore. I decided to focus on that instead. After two hours of fine-tuning the sequence, I felt like I wouldn’t have enough energy left for a proper send. But in the end, I was lucky enough to put it all together in one session.
