There are also the realy hard boulders from the begining era on Petrohrad, e.g. Machetas 8A and Esperanza 8A+, both by Rosťa from 2002 there. The new boulder according to the entered file on Lezec.cz database starts at same spot as Machetas and continues along the blunt edge without holds via bad steps to ease stuff.
There is the list of the hardest boulders on Petrohrad stones area (Jesenicko):
1. S trny v kůži hledám krásu růží 8B+, Mlýnský vrch - Škuner, R. Štefánek 2006
2. Barevný svět 8B/B+, Větrná hůrka - Mučírna, P. Resch 2006

5. Let se zelim 8A+/8B, Vyhlídková skála - Nočník, P. Resch 2006
All together there are more than 40 boulders for 8A and harder and more then 100 boulders for 7C and harder, all of them have made in the last 5 years. The popularity of the Petrohrad granit stones overcrossed the frontiers years ago, the evidence of it is confirmed by cars with German, Polish even Slovenian plates parking there.
One of the boulderer, who gives the largest effort to the equipmnet of the area, the housekeeper Petr Resch, has been also succesfull. He marked the ascent of the boulder Eso Rimmer 8B at Petrohrad stone Tlama.
