Surely though we don't know whether this is a correct grade for the climb as he doesn't attempt many of the US boulderers routes and they don't do his. He hasn't gone for Burden of Dreams or a third attempt on No Kpote Only so we don't know if his boulder grading is spot on. I reckon if he gets on Sleepwalker and some of the others that Webb, Huckkataival and Woods have put up then we'll know for sure that his routes are on par with those boys.
Just seems to me there is a lot of 8C+ being thrown around at the moment.
One thing I do know is its great to watch when he does put up a new route.

Clearly the lad needs to get on something harder! Burden of Dreams must surely be on his radar?
I think I'll stick with the couch my arse is on at the moment rather than the kneebar one.
Just loves climbing doesn't he?
The fact that overall he's the best climber in the world is almost irrelevant.
In the interests of discussion only....

So the past bouldering world champion doesn’t know when a problem is at the cutting edge. I guess you learn something everyday.
