This new boulder, called <strong>Iron Knuckles<\/strong> and graded <strong>8C<\/strong>, is the connection of a crack of 8A+ itself with Hard Knock Life, 8B. About 20 moves and another possible and harder exit still to be climbed&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Another peculiar feature: this boulder requires an approach of 50 minutes, demonstrating again the significant exploring spirit that Rauch is adopting and promoting.<\/p>\n<p>Here&rsquo;s his comment about this result on his 8a.nu page:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Perfect moment! Surely one of the biggest fights I&#8217;ve ever had, and definitely the hardest problem I have ever climbed. I feel in really good shape at the moment and I&#8217;ve never put so much effort in a single boulderproblem. I just really wanted to climb this thing and it was always fun to try those moves. The problem links a perfect shaped crack with a little feet first section, about 8A+ at itself, into &#8220;Hard Knock Life&#8221; 8B, all in all about 20 hard moves into a 6C+ topout. And there is still an harder exit&#8230;<\/em><br \/><em>About the grade, maybe it&#8217;s a soft 8C but it&#8217;s definitely harder than all the 8B+ I&#8217;ve done. All together I worked on this beast about 14 sessions.<\/em><br \/><em>Two hours after my ascent it started to rain really heavy, so i got soaked on the 50 minutes walk back to the car.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Let&rsquo;s wait for many other significant results by this climber.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>fonte: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.8a.nu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">8a.nu<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After the recent first ascent of Guardian of the Galaxy, 8B+, whose movie can be seen on our page, Christof Rauch finally sends what he defines&nbsp; &ldquo;one of his biggest&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":69998,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8066],"tags":[10847,11010,10849],"class_list":["post-69996","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-boulder","tag-christof-rauch","tag-iron-knuckles","tag-karnten"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Christof Rauch sends Iron Knuckles!
