freds at it again

fred nicole is claiming v16 for his new problem at Heuco Tanks in the US :shock:

The new Problem is called Terremere and is a link that starts on the V12 Mer Diaphane (“Diaphanous Sea”) and joins the Terre de Sienne (V15 itself) roof.

Fred said that he has never done something which felt that hard at first, except maybe Entlinge (a problem opened by Fred in Switzerland last year), therefore Terremere maybe V16 (8c+).

Due to last years grading debacle sparked off by DG, fred felt unsure weather to publicise his recent ascents.

totally agree, i wonder if Moon will try it. having seen Fred's project/hard problems in south africa i'd say they looked fairly tricky, (understatement!) and Hueco is pretty well visited by the world's hardcore it'll be interesting to see if the grade'll stick. I for one imagine it will... The guy is an uber wad.

Doubt the spoon will be interested in roof link-up probs, though I may have over-estimated him...

The sharpest hold in history apparently, sounds like a bit of motivation killer, will be interesting to see what news comes from 4 of the world's best climbers being in one place at the same time.
