In mini-wad news Scottish beast Euan McFadyen just did Dark Sakai 8B in Switzerland, the significant part being he's 16 years old and started climbing 2 years ago.  0 to 8B in 2 years, is that some kind of record?

  Beast.

Ethan's done Dandelion Mind - 2nd 8B+ in 2 weeks!

[monkey boy]

It was a great effort, he tried really hard! Grunts like Ondra! He used some different foot beta that a friend who was trying it thought might make it 8b now. See what other repeaters think.

What, didn't use the original sequence? Back around, no tick, this is fucking limestone don't you know!

P.s. good effort.

Was that Joble? Did he crush?

Just slightly different feet that seemed to make quite a difference on the crux move.

It was Joble and he got close, think if he had better skin he would have done it with this beta.

[abarro81]

Nice one fat boy

[Doylo]

Effort James! The most climbed 8B+ In the country!

[monkey boy]

James said he thought with the new foot beta it is 8B.

According to Nalle's Instagram account he's done the sit to Bugeleisen. No grade but reckons its the hardest thing he's done.

He said "could be".

Strong effort, looking forwarded to the video of that!

Jimmy Webb will repeat it in a day and down grade it for sure...

[joeb]

I stand corrected "could be" is correct

[a dense loner]

One of the best lines out there!

[miso soup]

Doesn't that count as a first ascent and deserve it's own thread?

[a dense loner]

good point that man!
