Third time in a week: 8B+ (C) by James Webb

James Webb continues his Ticino slaughter by doing his third 8C in a week, The Kingdom in Brione, but all were done so quickly, they were all done a personal grade. "2nd ascent. Definitely one of the bunchiest problems I have ever done! Felt really close to climbing it on the 1st day but the shoulder moves are so intense I got wrecked quite quickly. Came back and climbed it 1st go! Since it's basically my anti style I think it may sit more in the 8B+ range. Either way, a rad problem!! Props to Carlo on the FA. Classic." Jimmy has also done his fifth 8A+ flash during the last wee, Ganymede takeover. In total, he has flashed 20 boulders 8A+ and 8B, including several personal grades. The picture from Stefan Kuerzi is from yesterday when he flashed I Portici 8A+ in Osogno.
