easiest looking 8C+ I've ever seen ;) :worms: :coffee: :armchair: (I can't believe there's no default armchair emoji)

I don't suppose you actually had a look at the holds?

I think he just laybacked a crack. Nutter.

Definite foot-pogo-dab before he even starts climbing.

From Bjorn Pohl who is still posting this stuff on UKC where it is entirely wasted:

"According to Desnivel he needed around 40-50 sessions to do succeed, and as he already has half a dozen ~8C under his belt, the ~8C+ grade doesn't sound unreasonable."

Rubén Díaz Torres has repeated this (see video) making it look a lot easier than the FA. Seems like the grade is settling at 8C.

Sometimes it looks as if it's only me and three or four more people in the whole world, who don't boulder 8c.

Ahahahahhah! Well maybe in terms of time and dedication! Currently working a three years old project... That I doubt I'll do. But I don't doubt it enough as to stop trying it.
