Voodoo Thursday

At TDA, Marijus Šmigelskis managed to open one of the last remaining lines. "Voodoo Thursday" 7C+, starts as for "Invisible Monsters" and moves right straight away to the start of "Fatman" and tops out as for that problem.

Martinengo and Reed

Clinton Martinengo opened two new problems at the boulders of CBD. Both problems have the same start and the same finish, except that "The Contents" 7C+, uses slopey holds on the arete, while the harder slightly eliminate version "The Handbag" 8A, does not.

Just before moving to the UK, Craig Reed managed to add a sit start to "Swim Coach" at the classroom late one the evening using a head lamp. This ups the problem significantly to 7C+.
