Seb Berthe has repeated Edu Marin's Arco Iris (200m, 8c+ max) in Montserrat. Berthe confirms the grade of the hardest pitch after having taken a 25m fall while working the route.

Aidan on a tear in wales again, Wedgie, DnB and everything at the gop in a session barring one low start. I think the gop session alone is 9 8th grade boulders.

New low start to Hustled at 8B as well https://www.instagram.com/p/CRv7D2eDPnu/

I wonder whether he'd be keen for a look at Gaskins' Problem on pill box wall

How long did wedgie take him out of curiosity??

[JackPal]

Didn’t do it in a session. He’d been on it before and split. I think it may have been one of the days he had sunstroke. Imagine if he had good tactics. He could be decent.

DnB = Dead and Bloated?

[JackPal]

Yeah sorry, Dead n Bloated, seems mad that a really hard 8B seems almost irrelevant news cause of the level of the climber who did it.

Re the pill box, Danny said/sang it best in Doyle’s vid, nothing compares! Aidan and Dan got a way to go still to catch the G. 

[Fiend]

Well they're not going to catch him up if they keep being filmed actually doing stuff!

[teestub]

Thanks Jack, good to have the roving reporter back out and about! I guess Aidan’s Gop session was probably a nice power training work out at around 80% of his max!

Did it first go on the day i heard. The first day was way too hot. Sounds like he could have flashed ..

I think we're talking at cross-purposes. I didn't mention glueing holds back on until you brought it up - I was thinking of Love Sculpture and I suspect you were thinking of Wonderwall.

About as significant a repeat as you’ll get on sport…

Just as I was typing it out!

Massive, wonder if he'll give it a downgrade

Came here to post this but knew someone would get there before me fantastic achievement! He posted a great video looking at the holds the other day, which depending on your preferences will either be fascinating or the absolute most boring video imaginable

Young German crusher Solveig Korherr has done Cabane au Canada at Rawyl for her first of the grade.

Amazing! Ghisolfi having a better year than Ondra with his World Cup performance too

[remus]

Waddage. Will be interesting to see what he says on the grade, haven't been keeping track but seems like he polished it off pretty quickly compared to Megos (who spent ~60 days on it).

[jwi]

Seems a lot quicker than his ascent of Perfecto Mundo (32 days over one year) but a lot longer than he needed to do Change 🤷🏼‍♂️

[Duma]

Almost like he's improving.

UKC report says 1 month over two trips for change, guess that's time in flatanger, not days on the route?

[Kingy]

Wow, what a phenomenal effort by Stefano and pretty unexpected as he was making it look like he was miles away on his videos.

I reckon he is in amazing shape and agree, he has probably got stronger and gained more confidence since doing those 9b+'s from all the time he spent projecting them. It is perhaps a little misleading to compare the days he spent on them with Biblio. For example, if Stefano had (hypothetically speaking) not yet done Perfecto Mundo and were fly to Margalef now, would be take as long to do it? I think not, my money would be on him doing it in a week!

Will be interesting to hear his thoughts.

[Duma]

His full number grade onsight/redpoint differential makes me feel better about mine!

[jwi]

Almost like he's improving.

A foreign concept for us middle aged people

[cowboyhat]

Imagine not having to train for speed climbing

It was even better when it looked like they were going to have to wear mankinis for the speed bit. You might be motherfucking Adam Ondra but you’re still wearing a Lycra onesie

[Wellsy]

Ghisolfi has to be considered a serious contender for best sport climber in the world really. I mean how many 9b+s are there? Vasil Vasil, Change, Perfecto Mundo and La Dura Dura, and he's done half of them (and all the ones he's tried) plus now Bibliographie and his own 9b/+ too. That's more than Megos and almost as many as Ondra, and he's also had a better time of it in comps recently.

Hope he goes to Flatanger again and does Silence.
