La Force Tranquille direct FA
Raw ascent footage of Jakob Schubert doing the first ascent of La Force Tranquille direct [8C]in Magic Wood, Switzerland. This boulder was a long-standing project and chooses the direct exit to Daniel Wood's crimpy original line, adding some spice not only for the height and sketchy landing.

“No kpote only” by Nicolas Pelorson
Nicolas Pelorson - No kpote only (8C/V15) 3rd ascent.

”Blade Runner” by Daniel Woods
Daniel Woods battles against Giuliano Cameroni's upper chaos crimp masterpiece, "Blade Runner."
A 7C+/v10 intro directly leads into a savage 3 move 8B/13.
The crux of the 8B/v13 involves taking a miserable left hand 3 finger button grip and doing a near iron cross to a right hand half pad edge.
Connecting this move from the start turned into a mental nightmare. Legend crimp bloc.
“Opposing Force” FA by Alex-Megos
Sorry for cutting the first move of the send. I started climbing too fast. This rather long boulder shares the same start with "Half Life", but finishes in a boulder called "Nightcrawler" (around 8B). With the added moves I thought its around 8B+/C, but hard to give it a boulder grade as it has got more than 20 moves. Thank you for the support Bas & Alise. And thanks for holding the second iPhone :-)
