Owner of ever more impressive Nick Oliveri inspired facial hair, Niky Ceria repeated J Webb's 8C+ Ephyra (next to From the Dirt)

If that's not a display of total mastery I don't know what is. He's in cruise control. Amazing stuff.
 
Love how he hangs for about a minute, before deciding where to put his foot. He makes the top-out slab look like the hardest bit.

He also repeated Jimmy's La Rustica last week which I think is 8C now,
Has it not always been?

Love Niky just going out on his own and doing all this stuff with no fanfare and cheerleaders.


the tension at 40s in that vid, and the casual way he holds the position to spot the feet at 55s, is just mental.

In the FA video Jimmy Webb gets some good Elvis leg on the top slab. Good to know that even the best suffer a bit of a gibber now and then.

Slab top out from about 4.20. Full FA from 3.30.

No Jimmy originally gave La Rustica 8B+ I think.

Not a significant repeat but significant FA by Jakob doing the direct finish to Force Tranquille in Magic Woods, sorry if this has been mentioned already.

8a+ / 8b / 8b+ (who knows?) onsight by Hazel Findlay, pretty impressive whichever one of those grades it is!
 
Barrows warmed up on this in the mist whilst we were there, but I fell off. 8a+ is probably fair.

Either, way is this the hardest onsight by a Brit? Am I right in remembering that Ros flashed Face du Rat?

Molly TS has onsighted an 8a+, can't remember what it was but it's on her 8a.nu logbook.
 
Molly onsighted 8b this past summer (something near Innsbruck looking at her 8a account)

Interesting that Hazel gave Donkey Kong Ext 8a+ but labelled Pig in the Roof 8b in her pic. I thought Pig was easier than DK... Both seemed to make sense at bottom end 8b in the context of others in Leonidio (I.e. could easily be 8a+)

Weird that you and Hazel might have different opinions on gtades...
 
It sounds like Akira has had a couple of repeats: https://www.instagram.com/p/CH52khijvz7/

It seems the controversy continues as it sounds like some holds have broken in the initial boulder problem taking it from 8B to 7C (says Fred).
 
haha, my bet is 8c+/9a.
