8a.nu[/url]"]Kilian Fischhuber, very much the man of the moment, has managed to flash Beat Kammerlander's Taï chi, 8c, at Lorüns, Switzerland.
This is the first 8c flash ever.
The route is about 8 meters short, slightly over hanging and has very small holds. It was originally graded 8b+, but a hold broke and it went up to 8c

Kilian is also a mean boulderer too - here's the man in action:



They're also reporting Richard Simpson's fine recent blitz of four Buoux 8c's.

That Killian geezer is killing it at the moment. There was a boulderin world cup comp here a couple of weeks ago, with yer ususal: Daniel Dulac, Andy Earl, That Russian geezer, Ludovic Laurance etc etc. Killian won, climbing 5 of the 6 problems in the final. He came closer than anyone else on the 6th one. He flashed several of the probs and did the rest 2nd or 3rd go.

The second placed finisher got 2 probs

And he made all the proper hard probs look piss, looked like he was having fun, and wasn't fucking knackered looking whilst sitting around for the next prob.. And he is like, 20 or something. A fucking god.

PS. Prizes to anybody who can use the word "probs" more often in one paragraph than I have above.
