Not sure lamping in Dirtlow Rake is that good an idea?!

Nice interview with Mr Bosi on the Climbing website, talking about Spots of Time, grades and hard boulders.

Very nice!

Nice little retro upgrade of Wild South at Raven Tor to 8C+. Just need barrows to come along and downgrade it to 8B+ now.

Thanks, very interesting. Keen to follow what happens on his latest Czech visit.

UK limestone gets a downgrade, though ?

Is it even news? Will's flashed Rustam Direct 8B in Czechia https://www.instagram.com/reel/DCHYiyctB0l/

Adam Ondra implies that Charles Albert found the crux moves on Terranova ok.

I guess the crux on a long boulder can feel ok in isolation. Getting to it, through it & to the end is the thing.

I thought that video was quite funny, Ondra was almost saying "Bosi can't do Terranova because he's not very good at climbing".

It's also a bit weird to basically say it can't be 9A because its actually just technical and weird, rather than only hard pulling. That is still a critical component part of what makes a climb 'hard' and if you are good at technical/weird climbing that is just another 'strength'. Otherwise we would all just measure grip strength or do weighted hangs or similar and be done with it.

I think he's just being modest. He knows its nails and knows everyone else knows its nails so he can carry on playing it down until Bosi repeats it and upgrades it. ;D

Sounds like floating might not take to long. done minus 1st move on session 1.

The cheeriest 9A man in climbing on some proper dismal grot, flapping butt pocket and all ;D
