Travers, 8c+

Spring in Crimea is in its pride. We managed not only to luxuriate in the warm spring sunshine but to get a solar burn climbing for some days in Nikita. Temperature was up to +26! And at night the minimal temperature holds above +10! The motivation to send hard routes is in the air since the very beginning of this climbing season.

It is something to look at Alexander Zelinsky's march-turkish feats: after long winter he has already done some new 8b.

Amerikanec 7a+

Mike Shalagin is the real monster: he seems in his best shape for the last some years. He has already sent some 8а in the Crimea (Eskadron, Strannik, Pashka Udalets and Fantastik, Breeze, 8а +) and plus to this a new line: Humanoid, 8b, second go.
And the main thing, Scythian in a new variant 8b +/8с!

He hasn't succeed Matador (by the way, its new last year's variant is still unclimbed), but as always victory was close in his sight.

Bansai 8c+

Andrey Vedemeer is getting sport shape too: a heap of 8а, 8b and Scythian 8c sent!
In his nearest plans is to redpoint Atlant M (if I am in top form I will keep company): without falls. Nobody has climbed it without any fall yet, and the first pitch, 8b, is the real crux: everyone falls there.

Bansai 8c+

A new climbing star, Vitalik Lagutin, sent his first 8a - Zig Zag in Nikita. And a 13-years junior under sport care of Arthur Pechia, climbed Eskadron, 8а!
Olga Shalagina sent two 7c + : Mudry (Wise) and Pravy Rychag (Right Lever)!

I am gradually coming in shape: sent a pair 8а and Scythian 8c (Scythian is a very indicative route for me: If you climb it, your shape is " Not So Bad ").
Though after ice-climbing season I am a trifle too heavy, my fingers don't want to hold and unclench. But in fact the main thing is a brave mood!

Crimea is waiting for everyone. Welcome!
