Terranova looks like something Gaskins would find on Peak Limestone  :shit:

Goia looks very impressive, great footage on that!  :strongbench:

First time I've seen Gioia from that angle, didn't realise quite how overhanging it is.
Beautiful line and the moves look horrendous, yet also delicious :)

That other thing is a turdbucket masquerading as a V16.

It's not as if they lingered on Terranova!
- It's at his local crag.
- He say's it's not the best but you learn something form every climb.
- even if it's shit it's till a fuckload harder than anything we will ever climb.

Good film. Always said Core should have had more recognition for that problem. He was way ahead of the game.

Any other confirmed 8C+ problems in the world?

Core is a proper beast. There are many fun stories from when he used to compete!
From my personal point of view, if it weren't for his religious-karmic-hippish whispered ramblings (the likes of "God is a boulderer"...) he would be a true idol of mine.

Sound man too. Met him very briefly in Magic Wood years ago. Had a chat and he showed us the moves on an 7a we where tying. Needless to say he made it look pretty easy.

Wise words at the end there though, "the gifted have great responsibility" etc.

Luckily it turns out Adam Ondra is the most motivated person ever.

In the video even though he wasn't the main focus he certainly seemed like a gentleman. I actually enjoyed the way he spoke as well.

If he's actually a bit kooky I'm glad I don't speak Italian - he comes across as quite a cool dude in the little I've seen of him.

I've heard in an interview (not yet released) that Paul Robinson said Gioia is "a grovelly sharp shit traverse" (think I've got the exact quote from memory...).

You sure he wasn't referring to Terranova?

I thought that was nonce sense.  You could be a very gifted climber, but if you never even try climbing you wouldn't know you were gifted so why should or how could you be shouldered with a responsibility for a gift you don't know you have?

Even if you do participate in whatever you happen to be "gifted" at, theres no obligation for you to continue doing it at all.  Its the individuals life and if they'd rather go and pursue other activities thats entirely their business.

Splitting hairs here, but are people classing Gioia as confirmed 8C+? Core originally suggested 8C, Ondra suggested 8C+.

Would have been better if he'd done the voice...

Definitely Gioia. Not sure if he's tried Terranova.

I'm pretty sure Yoda never said this. Spiderman's uncle on the other hand.

I think you're right, though it seems to be an internet meme. I guessed someone might spot this - click the Yoda picture above for an earlier source than Spiderman. I can't prove it via youtube though.

That ll be why Robinson didn't do Gioia, because it's shit. Not that it was too hard or anything...

I get the impression the top boys are not in agreement about the existence of 8c+. Nalle tried Gioio too and he reckons we haven't hit 8c+ yet. It could be that they're all bitter about getting spanked by a sport climber though  :ras:
