Not sure whether it's more impressive finding a new line at Cuvier, or the fact that he managed to magic his way up those slopers.

Seems to consist of one move and then mantling out the top out, are there any other 8Cs with so few moves?

7C with shoes on

A morpho, lowball one-mover 8c.
Climbed barefoot.

Never leave the Board.
Never check the Internet.
There's a strange world out there.

hmm.... there's nothing on Charles Albert's facebook page. Nothing on Fanatic Climber...

Rumour has it Antoine Vandeputte did the same thing a few years ago at 8A+

Assuming we're talking about the same Fanatic Climbing, it's where saw it this morning https://www.facebook.com/fanatic.climbing/posts/1780518912258630

But, then again, isn't that always the case (that there is a rumour that Antoine Vandeputte did it years ago an graded it 8A)?

In fairness I saw him trying this and other problems over the winter and two things stood out:
1) Charles Albert is super humanly strong, looked as strong or stronger than anyone I have ever seen climbing (and this seemed to be the consensus amongst the locals I climbed with)
2) from my limited experience this looked alot harder than 8a+, there is basically one hold on the boulder

If anybody comes home with hand verrucas or other assorted fungal infections, we know the culprit.

Given the amount of crag turding that goes on at cuvier it wouldn't be the germs on climbers' feet that i'd be worried about.

True, but adding feet germs to shit germs sounds a bit like adding insult to injury...
Or maybe it smells like adding insult to injury.
