"For me Memento is maybe 8c+ (V16). It's by far harder than anything I tried or climbed yet..."

Sorry, what would those grades be in V grades?  

And you forgot to mention Pex grades...

Good piccies but it would be nice to see a closer up view of the hold he is stretching for with his left hand.

I was wondering the same!
Even if I guess that hold shouldn't be really "nice"!!

At the moment its Bernd 8c+, which means it is unconfirmed. Until his peers have repeated it and given some consensus its just a suggestion.

He obviously thinks its harder than other stuff he has done, but perhaps he does it a ridiculous way - maybe he's rubbish at the type of move that this problem entails.....

When I do it - in 2099, with prevailing winds, bionic arms and with my tendons replaced by hydraulic rams (of course, were I as tall as you, I'd just reach past the crux  :wink: ) I will indeed pull it down to about 8a+.

Yeah baby.

The picture sequence seems to stop just before you see him try and hold that enormous swing he is about to take (asuming he held it of course).

I'll wager he sustained some serious arse bruising before he finally held
that....

Chris, Have you got a job yet? Ah, sorry, too busy on the net I suppose  :roll:
