Jakob Schubert on Practice of the Wild (8B+/8C)

Impressive. That makes it his second 8B+ flash too. A quick Google suggests that Webb and Ondra are the only others to have flashed more than one 8b+ to date so it's a pretty exclusive group...

Watching Schubert climb, he appears to be weightless. I think there's a case to answer that he's using some sort of performance-enchancing gravity.

Really impressive to see so many hard ticks in two (rainy!) days, with lots of flashes and a lot of endurance!

"The sendage in Rocklands continues".

Seriously?

Impressive bit of climbing, cringe inducing writeup.

Looks from this list like he's only flashed one 8b+ as opposed to two? https://onbouldering.com/the-8b-flashers-club/

May well be out of date though...

Sorry, missed the more than one bit. I think Ned has 'only' flashed one of them. I think the V14 flash club is pretty exclusive too.

For sure it is yeah. And it's all relative of course - flashing anywhere near that grade is pretty obscene really...
