Did Rhys get footage of this, or was that a different trip? It's a shame the crabstix swiss dvd never got released.
In the first half of 2007 I took a few bouldering trips Switzerland. I began to focus on "flashing" hard boulder problems... I flashed "The Ganymede Takeover" at Brione, Ticino. My ascent, along with many other hard problems was filmed by Crabstix productions and will be released in a film about myself in 2008.... "The Great Shark Hunt" at Chironico. Again, my ascent was captured on film by Crabstix productions.... "Schule des Lebens" which again was captured on film.
access is possible from nov-feb. BUT its sensible! no big groups! no gathering on the meadow (what provoked the "access-issues). walk at the side, don't cross the meadow. listen to the locals. use common sense!happy climbing, martin
A chap on UKC seems to think the access restrictions have been relaxed somewhat:http://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/t.php?n=528363Quoteaccess is possible from nov-feb.

Repeated and down-graded to 8B+ by Jan Hoger - according to the man, "It can't be 8C as it only took me one session."Having seen Jan climb, I can confirm that he is an absolute monster, and its probably 8C.Can't jam for toffee though.But thats not climbing, so its all good.Twats.....
Jan, after taking a few burns to warm-up, quickly stuck the crux (not from the start) and went to the top after a few goes. After a bit of rest and a few more falls from the bottom, he completed the 2nd Ascent.

Whoops - my mistake. It was Momentum he's done and down-graded. He's probably saving Off the Wagon for tomorrow.

He did it today and also gave it the 8B+ downgrade. It may turn out that he's simply too strong for his own good right now though.
