In three days, Jimmy Webb has done one ~8B+/C and three 8B's, but this is only the beginning.

Jimmy and Co. have arrived in Ticino, Switzerland where they will be staying for almost three months. In the first three days, he has made quick repeats of From dirt grows the flower left*, ~8B+/C as well as Collateral, Santoku and Boogalagga, all 8B.

At this pace, he will have repeated every problem in the 5A-8C range by late next week, but he is not worried:

There's enough here to keep me plenty busy! Lots of nice projects too.

That's all I got out of him before he had to head back out...

*At the lip you can choose to either top out to the right, Dave Graham's original, or left, which is supposed to be a bit easier.
