Name is gross though, he could have chosen something classier.
So far I've never heard anyone refer to the problem by the name given to it by Albert...

as this 9A is found in the centre of the world and Hukkataival's 9A is found in the middle of nowhere there is no price for guessing which one will have a consensus grade first...
There's a significant factor of reputation and perception at play here as well. - Burden of Dreams took arguably the best boulderer in the world, operating in his perfect style, dozens of sessions over multiple seasons of effort

It took Nalle multiple seasons of effort when failing on his original sequence. Then he changed his sequence and did it fairly fast. Time spent doesn't mean everything, though it does mean something.
It's pretty easy, albeit not very fun, to spend a lot of time on something when you're arguably not good enough to do it. I think a lot of long sieges are like that.

Here's another story that doesn't mean everything, though it does mean something.
I agree with your point re time not meaning everything. It's pretty easy, albeit not very fun, to spend a lot of time on something when you're arguably not good enough to do it. I think a lot of long sieges are like that.
Another awesome story
For more 'CA can climb hard stuff' see him climbing l'alchemiste in out of sight iiiI think I'm right in saying he uses the original sequence (which Nalle had written off post chipping.)
On the subject of his being next-level strong, Tim Palmer said he saw him on some 8B thing (Landman does it in Between The Trees) where you hold two shit holds and throw into a slot as your feet come off. It's kind of a hard dyno move of holds that are practically unholdable. Albert was there just hanging them and kicking his feet back and forth to warm up like it was nothing.
