In 20 days, he has climbed every single boulder in the Hollow Mtn Cave and has added a new linkup by doing Sleepy Hollow, 8A+, into Cave Rave, 8B+, after 3 days of effort,grading it 8C (He hasn't named it yet) ! He also sent Ammagamma, 8B, and Lost for Life, 8A+/B at the Citadel. He still has 30 days left here and is already searching for new projects ... let's wait and see what he finds."Dai is the third climber , after Nicole and Zangerl, to have climbed three 8C's.
Ben Cossey, who's more known as a route climber, has repeated Eve rave, 8B+, in the Hollow Mountain Cave, Grampians. Ben's hardest problem before this 30+ move-test-piece, was 8A.
