Nacho Sánchez, who recently placed 2nd after Guillaume Glairon-Mondet in the Tierra Boulder Battle in Stockholm, beating Nalle Hukkataival into 3rd spot, has made his 2nd 8C first ascent, Insomnio in the Cova de la Gota at Crevillente, Spain.

According to Nacho, the meat of the problem is the first 6 moves, where the 5th is the hardest and the 6th a somewhat random dynamic move.
He has been working the conglomerate roof on and off for one and a half year, slowly piecing it together move by move.
It looks absolutely nails and suits Nacho's style perfectly.

Here's the video.

Amazing considering how weak he looks and how timid his training is!

I'm not really into bouldering, especially watching it, but this was really cool. My finger tips hurt just watching. I liked the close ups of the holds, gave a much better perspective of the difficulty.

Yeah, i was thinking the same. He's weak as a kitten and his training routine looks like my warm up...

He used to climb down the works a lot. I wouldn't describe him as weak :)

I also lap v15's as a warm-down after climbing.
