A few years ago this problem had a fierce reputation, especially after first ascentionist Chris Sharma jokingly said it might be V16, although now the consensus is more like V12.

Now, French boulderer Anthony Lamiche has flashed it, and also repeated the Specter (V13) at the Pollen Grains.

didn't with me a couple of times, but then worked...odd. It's Flash, so ensure you've got the latest player, might help?
I'm going to wait 'til I get home before viewing them anyway, might not go down too well at work :roll:

Works now - crazy european web shit.

Worth watching?

its quite long, but to be honest i don't know if its just my monitor but it didn't seem to be shot that amazingly, just a few people doing it then some guy doing the sit start. Might have been better with headphones though...

Not seen it all, but it all looked very dark and dingy, with a lot of it shot against the sky so you can't see what's going on. Boy looked strong though. I'll probably download the Evilution one as that problem's gobsmacking.

According to 8a.nu, Alasdair McLeay from Bangor has just flashed the new, harder (hold has snapped off) version of the Mandala, at a rather tasty V12.
