Ω Ivan Vostinar is something of solo force in the New Zealand bouldering scene at present. While most boulderers have gone into summer hibernation, the beast from the east continued his pre-Xmas rampage by adding a new V10 at the Rak on Sunday. The now-so-called Passive Attack is a right hand exit to his excellent problem Attack V7, with a huge span and some committing toe hook malarkey over the pit of death.
After “50 starts” the Vos also grabbed the second ascent of Noir Désir V9. He thought it was probably V9. Ω
I should add that Sam Anderson-Mangai was also at the Rak on Sunday. He dispatched The Shark V6 in two tries, Freak Show V8 in a few more and a few other bits & pieces.
Job Sam.
