All routes at Malham are a bit eliminate as  the staircase left is much easier.

That staircase is about 8b at the end of a session

Literally ”rockclimber”, but mostly used to separate outdoor specialists from the rest.

You could say cragsman/woman, though it’s a bit old fashioned.

Interview with Coudert on fanatic climbing:

https://fanatic-climbing.com/camille-coudert-empoche-la-3eme-ascension-de-soudain-seul-camille-coudert-claims-the-third-ascent-of-soudain-seul-interview/

Apparently Coudert did the stand start 5-6 times per session for several session before doing the low start.

Quote
– What do you think about the usage of knee pads on this boulder? Is it a lot harder without?
I find that there is not a lot to mull over, that is like asking what you think about using heel hooks on this boulder problem. Without knee pads the boulder is more or less impossible.

I'm not sure that's all too unusual. Certainly when I've been working on a sit start to something, particularly longer problems, I'll do the stand / from a few moves in a lot. Doesn't really change with higher difficulty, the process is the same.

If anything it would be more impressive to do the sit quickly without having done the stand that much.

Great interview that anyway.

For sure, makes sense in the context but still impressive to me when you consider the standalone difficulty of The Big Island.

Who was talking about kneepads? All I want to know is has it been done without a book yet!

"Hard to know the number of sessions I put in the boulder I would say twice a week on average for almost 8 months in all. Which must be between 70 and 100 sessions"

Jeez.

Posting this here for a few reasons:
1. It's a lovely little video
2. First repeat since hold breakage so great to see that it still goes, as in my opinion it's up there with the absolute best most inspiring lines on grit
3. It sounds like Will is suggesting the stand is now 8B+, which would mean the sit will potentially be the first 8C on grit when it gets done!

Doesn't he say he thinks its more than 8B+? If so why 8B in the title of the vid? Its not the same as it was due to the break...

He says "more on the 8B+ side". Probably just says 8B in the title as that's what it was before.

Yeah exactly, that's when he says "I definitely think it's more on the 8B+ side"  ;)

One man's opinion a consensus does not make.

Was there not a thread about this recently?

As he’s the only one to repeat it since it broke, I guess it’s the only data point we have some far! And Mr Bosi is not exactly a stranger to pulling on small holds.
