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 ?

Adam Ondra implies that Charles Albert found the crux moves on Terranova ok.

I guess the crux on a long boulder can feel ok in isolation. Getting to it, through it & to the end is the thing.

I thought that video was quite funny, Ondra was almost saying "Bosi can't do Terranova because he's not very good at climbing".

It's also a bit weird to basically say it can't be 9A because its actually just technical and weird, rather than only hard pulling. That is still a critical component part of what makes a climb 'hard' and if you are good at technical/weird climbing that is just another 'strength'. Otherwise we would all just measure grip strength or do weighted hangs or similar and be done with it.

I think he's just being modest. He knows its nails and knows everyone else knows its nails so he can carry on playing it down until Bosi repeats it and upgrades it.  ;D
