After an epic battle, mostly against bad conditions and sickness, Nalle Hukkataival managed to climb Bügeleisen, the classic problem in Matatal, Austria which was put up by Klem Loskot more than a decade ago.
Unfortunately, he lost 6 climbing days of the trip due to fever and never had time to work on the sit start project, which I've heard is amazing. Perhaps more news about that at a later date. VIDEO: https://vimeo.com/63921461
Swedish climber Said Belhaj has done Supernova in Vadiello, in the Aragon region of northern Spain on his second go. This 9a is his 5th of the grade, and this is the fastest he has been able to do one. He's been a professional climber for over 10 years, and is still improving. Said takes a spiritual approach to his climbing, and his blog is often interesting and not too grade focussed. More info on his blog:
