On his first climbing day at Topside, South Africa, Nalle Hukkataival managed to repeat Paul Robinson's A simple knowing, which was given 8C.

Nalle comments on his blog:

I just made the first repeat of Paul Robinson's V15 (8C), A Simple Knowing, at Topside. I managed to climb it quickly in half an hour. It's a nice problem, but once again nowhere near the difficulty that I consider V15.

Nalle's was only the 2nd ascent, so I guess it remains to be seen whether this is an 8C or not.

Nice one Nalle. Just the man to comment on this new wave grading bollox too. Re the photo, has anyone repeated Livin' Large?

I dont think it's had a repeat yet. Ondra got pretty close but took a dodgy fall off the easier finishing section then ran out of time.
