Nacho Sánchez from Murcia, Spain, is probably one of the lesser known 8C boulderers in the world. No doubt, this is because he doesn't travel as much as some of the others yet(?), but tends to hang around the many quality areas Spain has to offer.

Here are a couple of videos with the steel fingered Iberian.

The first shows him doing a couple of 8B's and flashing an 8A+ at Targassone on the French side of the border, the second a repeat of an 8B+ at Zarzalejo, Spain.

My guess is we will be hearing more about Nacho soon.

He did live in Sheffield for a year though.

Nacho lived in Sheffield for a while and did a Low start to Keen Roof amongst other things. I believe he's also done the full Never Ending Story and a few other hard things in Magic Wood.

So how many 8c boulderes are there, roughly? jcm
21 Dec, 2011
By no means a complete list: Adam Ondra Daniel Woods David Graham Nalle Hukkataival Paul Robinson Mickey Page Fred Nicole Dai Koyamada Bernd Zangerl Christian Core John Gaskins Carlo Traversi Nacho Sanchez Bernard Schwaiger Michele Caminati Vinent Pochon Sebastien Frigault Guntram Jorg Mauro Calibani Toni Lamprecht Chris Webb Parsons Markus Bock Thomas Willenberg Magnus Mitbo The list probably gets a lot smaller when you only count guys who have done multiple 8Cs and/or confirmed 8Cs.

Antoine Vandeputte and Julien Nadiras repeated Tonino 78 (8c+) but I don't know if either of them have done any 8cs
