Holy shit this looks good.

Livin Large 8C





Quote
The Finnish wonder-kid Nalle Hukkataival has, after twelve long days of attempts, finished the amazing project we were calling Project Real Big. Naming it Livin Large and proposing a grade of 8C, this is Nalle's hardest problem to date and his hardest first ascent. The climb now ranks among the most difficult in Rocklands and the entire world.

filmed on the Red One http://www.red.com/cameras/ too so the footy should be amazing

Just seen Chuck Frybergers stills of this problem - 8 metres high, and Font 8c! Bear in mind Nalle did Jade (also 8c at RMNP) in 10 tries, and this problem took him 12 days, I reckon its pretty solid for 8c. :bow:

Beautiful line, really something.  Shame the name is retarded, bit too Chicken McNugget for my liking; rather something Finnish myself.

Ah sorry about the double chicken reference in this thread.  It was appropriate OK?
