Will's added the hardest boulder to date to the Tor with The Wild South. He's given it 8C but also said "Probably my longest boulder project spanning many years and countless sessions could be 8C+".

Takes many years and countless sessions, on great form and then gives it 8C, with maybe a +?

8C but you need to be able to climb Burden of Dreams in 2 weeks to do it.

Shades of "8B+ if you have 8C finger strength" from Aidan  :lol:

Tbf I think he was trying quite a different sequence for a long time (something about an 8C single move!) and recently discovered the knee which makes it a lot easier.

Thought he was going to downclimb it for a while there  ::)
Think there's a bit in the Jamcrack podcast about the knee. Good episode though.

Looks like he used the heel thag I believe aidan discounted and others had been trying? Good effort Will!

Wonder if he will get on much else whilst in Wales, probs getting too warm for it, but would be cool to see das pumpenhaus get a 2nd ascent.

He's a wizard ! Good effort.

Actually it's quite breezy and a bit cooler today, here in N.Wales.
