Nalle Hukkataival keeps delivering. Yesterday, breaking the all Nordic tradition of severe post midsummer hangover, he did the FA of Sunseeker, 8B, at "area B" Mt Evans, Colorado. "This tall and proud line climbs a sloping rail on a perfect steep overhang, leading to a horrifying mantle high off the deck. It has a good obvious starting hold and about 21 moves, all of them upwards. The bottom part climbing into the stand is probably around V12 and after that you still have to do do stand start which is a technical highball V10. At the moment there is still snow on the landing making it possible to take falls without getting hurt, but when the snow melts it will most likely be a death landing."
