8C by Paul Robinson

Paul Robinson has made the first repeat of Dave Graham's The story of two worlds, 8C in Cresciano. As it has not been repeated, but tried by many for six years, speculation for an upgrade to 8C+ has been suggested. It will be interesting to have Pauls personal grade of the 8B sit start into the Dagger, 8B+. During the last year, Paul has done four 8C's and Lucid Dreaming an 8C+ FA.
