From 8a:

Quote
8B Font flash by James Kassay

James Kassay, who was #21 in the last Boulder WC, has flashed Sideways Daze 8B in Fontainebleau. The only other 8B flash in Font was Adam Ondra's Gecko Assis. The hardest flash in the world is Daniel Wood's Entlinge 8B+ which was set up by Fred Nicole as an 8C.

To make the story even better, James only warmed up five times on a 6A layback slab and hung some 10 seconds in some crimpers. The night before he had watched two videos but he did not remember, and climbed by intuition and later he found out that his sequence was new, as can be seen here.

James will stay in Europe another month doing another three WC's and then go to Rocklands.



Fuck! :o

Amazing. What other sequences are there - looks like a prob where figuring out what to do is not the issue - it's just doing it.

Ace, honestly. However does anybody else think the ladies chanting 'come on' like it's a cult mantra sound like unenthusiastic fluffers? Or is it just me..  Probably just me.

Jealousy? ;) Though if you listen and don't watch - it sounds just like a pRono film ;)

Absolutely brilliant Kook. That really couldn't have happened to a nicer person (enjoyed the personal perspective on the blog too). Top guy.

I did that thing where you watch a video and halfway through notice strange noises coming from somewhere, which turns out to be your nearby headphones.  :lol:

Awesome skills- he makes it look about 6B.  :bow:

Nice one Keith! He may not have climbed much, but was still pretty dismayingly strong last time I saw him in Jan

He said when he first got there he failed on a V5 and he just improved massively with each session!

He sent me an email a few weeks ago, just saying "it's done!"
I wanted to post it here, but having Sicilian origin I kept my mouth shut.
Capisc?

He may have also failed to mention that it was over 35 degrees pretty much everyday for the first 10 days he was there.

And it is a tough V5.......  ;)
