In this week's Friday Nighter we've got Hazel Findlay literally walking up The Doors (8a+) at Cadareza, Italy. Grades given for this amazing line range from 7c+ to 8b, depending on hand/finger size, crack skills and sandbagging ability.
Her hands are like shovels, her crack skills are second to none and her sandbagging ability is legendary. All these things combined means that watching Hazel on this makes it look like a HVS! Believe us when we say it isn't.
Filmed back in 2012 by the legend and mad genius of UK climbing camera men - Ian Burton, this little video is a really nice short that captures the feeling of just having fun on the rock. We all find 8a/b cracks fun right?
