Sachi Amma has repeated Chris Sharma's Stoking the Fire, 9b. https://www.instagram.com/p/BvfNgDFnEfw/

This was Amma's third 9b, and the third repeat of the route after Ondra and Shubert.

Thanks for the belay Ben - sorry I faffed around for so long you couldn't try Overhanging crack at Bowden that day.

Like Fiend said, you probably did me a favour Robin. Hope all’s well with you and the family.

Such an ace effort Mads! Apparently the Quill is going for a look from the ground tomorrow!

Also...

Some American dude called Jim Reynolds has just free soloed Fitz Roy soloing it both up and down (aka didn’t abseil it!!!!)

Thought I read somewhere it might have been onsight too. The grade is a lot lower than freerider but not abbing it is pretty crazy.

Apparently he marked the slabs with chalk so he could downclimb them only to find them wet (!) and the chalk gone (!!) on his way down. Pretty crazy stuff.

Strong by Maddie. That Jim Reynolds thing sounds seriously gnarly.

From 8a.nu:
Maddy Cope repeated Prinzip Hoffnung (8b+ trad) this morning.


From 8a.nu:
Quote from: Maddy
"The route is a dream line, one that you see pictures of your climbing hero's on but never think you will actually do it yourself. Great insecure moves with a safe but long fall. Coming from Oliana it was a nice change of angle! It has been hot so I first tried to lead the route by head torch, but today got up to try at first light which was better... I was just being lazy.

I had 3 sessions just on top rope and then had 4 lead tries over an evening/night and a morning so took some good falls.

Luicen Martinez has done the second repeat, after Adam Ondra, of Chris Sharma's "Three Degrees of Separation" 9a/a+ in Céüse.

There is a fairly hilarious video of Martinez and Albert in Céüse in the winter, showing some attempts

Ah sod the cons, that looked absolutely freezing. Good to see wads absolutely spoon their skin and get blood everywhere too.
