Belgian climber and member of the notorious 'Wild Bunch', Nicolas Favresse, has established a seriously steep and hard new trad line in Yosemite Valley's Ribbon Falls alongside Alix Morris and Drew Smith. The 400m line has been named Eye of Sauron and features difficulties up to 7c+/8a, breaching a huge roof to the left of Gates of Delirium.
8a trad makes it E8 though. There's not that many folk up for multipitch E8, even amongst the elite. It may have cracks but I'm willing to bet it's still no bolted route. Hope they filmed the ascent/process!
