Its simple paul, its the first time you go for a redpoint attempt

Michele Caminati did "Unfamiliar"...
not bad for a guy who doesn't even sport climb...

I don't think we will have to wait long for the third judging by the strong team that went to try it.

Sasha DiGiulian just did Southern Smoke, 8c+ in the Red River Gorge!

b3n99 · March 19, 2011, 10:22:34 pm

That is a stunning effort! Hardest route for an american woman?

Doylo · March 20, 2011, 11:13:27 am

Isn't Beth Roddens meltdown supposed to be 8c+ on trad?

Doylo · March 20, 2011, 11:17:16 am

Fittest 8c+ climber ever though!

Good return there Beastio.

Doylo · March 21, 2011, 12:07:05 am

Dan V and Ry P did james p's routes Power of the darkside and Return of the jedi today with pads and without top ropes

grimer · March 21, 2011, 07:59:23 am

bloody eck

remus · March 21, 2011, 08:10:33 am

Well put!

Johnny Brown · March 21, 2011, 08:28:38 am

Nice work boys!

Doylo · March 21, 2011, 10:06:43 am

Ry thought darkside would be e7 even with less pads as the climbing wasnt too hard and a secure,positive style. He onsighted it and dan flashed it.they both ground upper jedi which was about font 7c difficulty wise.

carlisle slapper · March 21, 2011, 10:09:24 am

EDIT, what doyle said, Jedi took me 4tries ground up, and Ry 2 more as he seemed tired and couldn't fold his legs out the way on the tag in move. First time i soloed it to the ledge then jumped off rightwards to the adjacent ledge and walked off, but realised we'd probs cop shit for it so did it again with gear and finished it properly. Font 7c to the ledge seems fair then an even weirder than blind vision scenario whereby you place some poor gear and do 1 6a move to safety!, bottom is suavito on steroids basically with an almost identical landing too (looks scary but is fine as you never hit the block on the left)

grimer · March 21, 2011, 11:38:05 am

nice one, both great looking lines

Tommy · March 21, 2011, 09:25:33 pm

Outstanding! On another level....

Well done for Elm St as well - you boys are absolutely bonkers!

By "less" does he/you mean without pads?. Also F7c+ highballish presumably means Return must be in E8ish territory?

Doylo · March 22, 2011, 07:28:25 pm

He doesn't think it'd be e8 padless

Doylo · March 22, 2011, 10:19:24 pm

9 year old Ashima Shiraishi (the girl who did power of silence last year) has done Chbalanke and Roger in the Shower (both v11) at hueco according to Big Up! Quite shocking! I'm sure some folk will say they were easy for her as theyre bunchy problems

Robsons · March 22, 2011, 11:01:36 pm

Mini-beast! Great effort
