Firefight, 8B, by Malc Smith (updated)

Malcolm Smith has added yet another hard problem at the Dumbarton boulders. Firefight, 8B, climbs the Pressure cave, then links into and finishes up Firestarter, 8A. Full story on the Stone country blog.

UPDATE: He's also made the FA of Grande tour, which climbs Perfect crime extension into Saboteur, to create an 8Bish problem. It took Malc roughly 4 minutes to climb. Must be some kind of record for a boulder problem...
