The low start potentially being the first 8C+ in Switzerland.

The first genetically manipulated trained from birth climber to reach maturity. Will be interesting to see what he does.

My money is on the second ascent of Burden of Dreams. You heard it here first.

The problem is called Off the Wagon ;)

It's been under there since way back when Dave Graham and Sharma attempted to climb the FA in Dosage Vol. 4 (I think). Many years later Nalle bagged the FA to the higher start. It'll be interesting to know if the wagon is ever moved or used by a local farmer or something. Maybe you have to swing round his house and ask him to put it under the boulder for you. From the clip it looks like there might be holds even lower.

Blimey yeah she absolutely cruised that.

Related - will it be a significant repeat when someone does Fat Lip without a 5.10 heel?  :lol:
