The men’s boulders, for instance, are as hard as V14. We caught up with Paris’s head Boulder setter to learn what strengths and skills a climber needs to grab gold.

More Bouldering! Today was amazing: I managed my first "6"! The red running route I wrote about a few days ago actually has 3 starts: a 4, a "jumping" 5 and a pogo/running start 6. Today I managed the 6! Also this one turqoise sloper 5 that was really hard in a few places, that I´ve been working on for 1.5 weeks I finally managed to top today! What´s more a ugly balance "5" with a very high crux, and TWO routes in total roof. Wow, what a day!#bouldering #boulder #climbing #sport #BoulderDiary
