That yoof is amazing.

Sweet Jesus. So, day 1: onsights 2 8b+'s and an 8b, day 2:onsights an 8b+ and 2 8c's, day 3: first ascent, 2nd try, of an 8c+. Thats some big numbers. is 8c now officially " not that hard". That's feckin incredible.

Have you seen him waltz up this 8c+/9a? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rMVXtGXeCk&feature=channel_page

It is incredible, but on a par with what you expect for someone of his standard. If a climber who was regularly doing 8a+ onsighted 2 7c's in a day you'd say 'ok, he's going well'. If the same climber did a 7c+ on his second go you'd say the same thing. Good but not totally unexpected. Andy F
