Anak Verhoeven has redpointed 9a+ and onsighted 8c 

Either UKC have already updated the article or I think you misunderstood the claim they were making. The article currently says...

Note the capital letter in that second grade. It's a Font bouldering grade.

They could perhaps have made it slightly clearer, given that the article prominently refers to a recent 8b+ sport onsight, but it doesn't seem incorrect.

Cool stuff.

Was it ever resolved whether Open your mind direct was 9a+ when Ashima did it? I remember it was widely reported at 9a+, but then there was some noise that actually it was 9a (not that I could tell the difference!). Just thinking that she's also climbed >= 8B+ boulder.

Ashima has climbed 8c boulder Horizon in Mount Hiei when she was 15 and done both Open Your Mind Direct 9a/9a+ was the grade when she did it and Ciudad de Dios 9a/9a+ in 2014/15 when she was 14.
