Just two days after the second ascent by Bernd Zangerl, the super-hard problem Entlinge (Font 8C) in Switzerland has been repeated by Franz Widmer.

Widmer is no stranger to hard bouldering, having repeated test pieces such as New Base Line (8B+) and Le Poinconneur des Lilas (8C).

The picture can't be doing it justice - makes it look more like Font7c.

Was thinking 7b myself. That photo must be really misrepresentative.


In reply to Mini: Sorry but it is obviously E9 7a

In reply to Jack Geldard - Editor - UKC: The vid of Zangerl doing it doesn't make it 'look' 8C either, but the move at the top is quite neat:

Grading by looking you two! You are as bad as the David Jones character and Jingo Wobbly grades.

very cool - use your hands like feet and I guess everything seems easy!

What an amazing top move, and how unlikely that the easiest way to do it is to go upsidedown. I'll agree with others, he makes it looks easy.
