That's a world class Boulder and surly on most boulderers dream tick list. Effort.

Good pic of psych there!!!

precisely what I thought. That and his tummy looks somewhat nonexistent

Someone on fb actually asked if he had footage even though that's clearly a still from tripod cam, if ever there was one

MacLeod has to be the best all rounder in the world. 9a,8C, E11/12, hard snow and ice. Looks like his diet has worked.

[SA Chris]

hard snow and ice

12/XII for Anubis? Plus some hard multipitch stuff too, both trad and sport.

[Doylo]

I see he's worried about discussing his dieting because he's got such a big following and it's a can of worms to some people. It's pretty simple really, the lighter you are the easier it is. Losing weight's got him from 8B/+ to 8C. Whatever scientific research he credits it to and however you do it it all ends up with the same result - climbing harder.

I would hazard a guess that it's not so simple - he has, in the past, tried some hardcore dieting that he said just resulted in lower performance due to feeling shitty, whereas now he certainly look super ripped and has hinted that he feels much better in many ways than previously.

So...here ends my speculation. Intrigued to  when he spills the beans.

[Doylo]

Aye but doing it in a sensible manner isn't rocketscience is it. Obviously hardcore crash dieting can be bad for you and isn't necessary.

I'm sure coffee and beans don't feature strongly.

That's the theory, but enough people have trouble with their weight and diet to suggest that its not so simple in practice. I can see where Dave Macs caution comes from.

[Nibile]

I think in the past he's been less cautious on this matter. I'm quite sure I posted something on here.
People have problems because they don't know what they're doing, they just want to drop enough to be climbing harder and they want it quick.

On his training beta podcast he's pretty open about it.  He's been following a strict ketogenic diet for about 12-18 months now and it has worked for him

Outrageous, this kid is good!

[Doylo]

Not many Brits have climbed 8B+ and 9a either. Moon, Smith, MacLeod, can't think who else?

[willackers]

Really impressive to watch, he had a foot pop whilst he was shaking out but managed to stay on and cruise the top. Great effort!

Scottish teenager William Bosi did Rainshadow comfortaby today.

[dave]

Surprised nobody has mentioned William Bos doing Rainshadow.

[lagerstarfish]

I don't think it's been reported yet

[Stu Littlefair]

I think it has. If you look closely, Shark did it above. But he forgot to mention how much he weighed, so perhaps it doesn't count.
