Hardest route at the cornice?

I've never tried Somehow Super (has anyone other than Ste?) but it definitely felt harder for me than Dreadnaught. Someone said Felix did the proj out of Powerplant the other day too, not sure how hard that is...

Whoa whoa, hold up, verify this please

[abarro81]

I have no verification, just what I was told at the crag yesterday...

Waddage.

Blimey, that kid is so low-key. Makes everyone else seem like Michael Reardon.

[spidermonkey09]

Thats great. Been a project for so long, and in such a central bit of the crag.

[abarro81]

Good spot Ru. Low-key indeed!

Shawn Raboutou has proposed a 9A Boulder called Alphane.

Video out on Monday according to his Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/ChczmRCDDdi/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

9A!

9s coming thick and fast

I think this is quite significant:

Decent video on YouTube about it too. Sounds like it hasn't ever been done before other than on top rope, which of course means it hadn't really been done at all prior to Anna's ascent. Considering it's slap bang in the middle of Magic Wood that's quite something!

"DANGEROUS climb on microscopic holds" 

"SO I FELL OFF FROM THE HIGHEST I'D FALL FROM AND I WAS TOTALLY FINE climb on microscopic holds" 

Thankfully the climbing and ascent looks of a lot better quality than the clickbaitness. Good effort, some proper ratty vert there.

[Bradders]

Haha yes, ignore the clickbait and appreciate the achievement.

[Carliios]

My favourite bit is where they call it a ground up free solo 

[Fiend]

Yeah what the flaming fuckbollox was that all about?? I didn't know "ground up" was so obscure and hard to grasp.

But the climbing was great, the heel thing was funky, as was her epiphany about the finger positions. Significant quality problem for sure.

[andy moles]

I just can't swallow this sort of thing without choking on the clickbait. 

[Wood FT]

Not adding another view to that shite.

[JamieG]

That’s a shame. It’s very impressive climbing by Anna on a very cool boulder. But the clickbait and even worse cheesy ‘risk’ bar chart cheapen the whole thing. I wish they just stated it as it was: an impressive first ascent of a highball 8A slab/wall. That’s worthy of the plaudits without the bumf surrounding it.

Hate to go full UKB, but does anyone know if she's climbed boulders close to this level before? I'd never heard of her but just had a quick flick through Anna's insta/youtube and can't see anything above f7B+. She's a very good climber judging by the hard trad ascents on established routes, so i'm sure she's capable, particularly in this style. Just thought it would be incredibly bold to upgrade something if she hadn't climbed around that level before! No negativity intended, it's a good looking problem and I do love a 2 finger full crimp!

[remus]

Not sure what she's fine on the boulders but she's sport climbed up to 8b+.

[Carliios]

I’d be interested to see how it compares to Duel in Font. I’d say similar micro crimp tekkers, maybe not as bold but you don’t get hard grades for scary climbs, at least not in the UK right?

[Fiend]

you don’t get hard grades for scary climbs, at least not in the UK right?

You do - E grades 

Was just wondering if anyone - not one of the grade sceptics for this one tho - would care to speculate on an old skool E grade for an old skool beer towel onsight for this one??

Call me a believer then.

[SA Chris]

Not a trace of doubt in your mind?

[Bradders]

And E9. She's no slouch.

When she needed sunshine, she got rain.
