Is it only him and Ondra to have flashed 8b/+ in font? Remarkable effort. :coffee:

Elephunk is ten times harder to flash than Sideways Daze, judging from the sequences...
Webb is a beast.

The holds are big on elephunk, they're small on sideways daze.

Doesn't look like ideal connies from the picture though. I think Elephunk is probably a harder flash in terms of there is more that can go wrong. However I didn't think it was 8B really, especially not compared to others in Font and especially if you are a taller gentleman.

Flashing the Geck is much more impressive.

Awesome. This is the single hardest looking thing I've ever seen - really blew me away that this was possible when I wandered up to have a look many years ago.

Thanks people, jwi hits the nail by linking to the Daddie(/original) sauce.


All three sites that I don't use regularly, especially for news (8a.wank is terribly organised/laid out and a nightmare to navigate; never signed up with Farcebook; only use UKC log-book).  I tend read UKB come here for news and its nice to have the origin of reports of significant ascents/repeats cited.
