Waiting for Grimper Mag to confirm, but not completly unlikely that it was a link from the ground. Charles was fairly close a year ago

Local gossip says “not from the ground yet”, one source , unconfirmed
 
Not a ladder in sight though and impossible to skip a move by jumping in. Would be very cool if he climbed this. It's one of those projects that have been around since forever. I remember being told on my first visit to Font 30 years ago it was a project. I expected it to be climbed way earlier. Well done mr. Albert (if he indeed climbed it). 🫡
 
If it is not yet in Grimper, Mr Albert was probably pushed into position. I mean, how hard is it for Mr Martinez to send a text to confirm?
 
A friend messaged him on insta and he said it was about 9A, but in a fairly non-specific way. Speculation abound!

No obvious stack of pads either. Though in the insta post from last year it looks like you can pull on from a move in fairly easily so could be a link from there.
 
Noah Wheeler has done all the moves on Shaolin in a single session.
Apparently V13 (mostly revolving around getting in and out of the gaston) into 1 move V13 into 1 move V11.
Sounds like a tough link, based on those numbers DarthGrader approves Sean's V17 proposal

'At least high 16' amazes me how some people have such understanding/granularity on grading
 
Man has done a list of 8B+s and 8Cs as long as my arm and the USA is the size of Europe. I'd call that pretty experienced and well travelled.
 
One 9A, and 2 8C+'s, one of which is the stand to the 9A. Never doing anything hard outside of the USA isn't really experienced in my mind.
What's the relevance of never having done anything hard outside of the USA, in reference to his grade opinion on a hard boulder *in* the USA?
