Another level. This is amazing stuff. I want to see what he does when he finds a hard project. I'm genuinely intrigued by how much these guys can raise the level at the top end. Switzerland is not safe.

Interestingly, free 4 all, if it's the Clifford problem left of Jack's Broken Heart, is actually graded 7C+. He seemed to think it was originally graded 8A+. I propose this as a factual correction, nothing else.

You can watch him do La pelle here;

Really? I thought that Clifford gave it 7c+, but most people had taken 8a since then. Looking on 8a.nu, Robinson reckons 'moderate' 8a

Amazing (post by cofe).

And some rather impressive climbing from the ex-Neighbours hotelier too.  :bow:
