This week we gonna review a very unique ascent, done by Shauna Coxsey. It is unique because it was the only time that a problem has been used for both men and women during an IFSC senior bouldering World Cup. In 2014, in the Chongqing event, the last qualifying problem for the men was also […]

This week we gonna see Fanny Gibert climbing a very hard qualifying problem from Munich 2015. The kind of boulder that requires pretty much every skill in a climber’s arsenal: balance, coordination, flexibility, finger strength… it was all necessary. Perhaps that’s why only 4 climbers out of 41 got the top.
Today we gonna see Australian crusher James Kassay topping a very crimpy problem from the World Cup in Chongqing in 2014. The holds were so tiny I bet you will cringe while watching!
