I'm sure everyone has seen this already, but Michaela Kiersch has repeated Dreamtime, making her the first woman to climb 9a+ and 8C.

Perhaps not that significant in the scheme of things, but a nice reminder of the level these days. In between sessions on Alphane Shinichiro Nomura has popped over to Magic Wood and climbed Mystic Stylez 8B+, New Base Line 8B+ (second go) and Remembrance of Things Past 8B+ in the same day.

20 years ago doing any one of those problems on a trip would have been enough to make the news, now it's just a footnote.

I think climbing 3 8B+'s in a day is significant still.

His post implies that he's done it before too? Or is that just created in translation?

It says the same in Japanese (I think, based on my very rusty Japanese). The text has definately not been autotranslated, it is way too good for that.

Been doing a bit of digging and he didn't do 3x 8B+ in a day...he did 2x 8C and 1x 8B+!

In 8B+ and 8C is all 5-dan. So same/same.

In other news, Jonathan Siegrist has repeated L'étrange ivresse des lenteurs a "9a+" first freed by Adam Ondra in 2010 and only repeated by Alex Megos (in a handful of attempts) before. Apart from being likely very hard for the grade, there is also a 7m runout on very diffucult terrain to the belay to keep the riff-raff away.
