Will's dropped a couple of hints about something hard he flashed recently. After expanding my knowledge of czech lime caves, I think he may have flashed Ghost Rider 8C, which would be the first ever flash of an 8C.

You can see it here, where Ondra climbs it from a lower start which gets 8C+.


Amateur hour over here. He's done that already so won't be the one.

A hard flash that wasn't Dune?

If so, you're saying a hard flash is still rumoured but not the one you initially thought?

Yeah, yesterday in his instagram channel he said he'd gone to have a look at terranova but it was wet so he wandered over to a nearby cave that had a line he wanted to try and flash, but it had a load of river debris in it so he had to spend a couple of hours digging it out first before getting the flash. Proper peak lime vibes  :lol:

Nice interview with Mr Bosi on the Climbing website, talking about Spots of Time, grades and hard boulders.

Nice little retro upgrade of Wild South at Raven Tor to 8C+. Just need barrows to come along and downgrade it to 8B+ now.

Thanks, very interesting. Keen to follow what happens on his latest Czech visit.

UK limestone gets a downgrade, though ?
