Bügeleisen 8B+ (C) for Rok Klancnik

Rok Klancik has done the third? repeat of Klem Loskot's Bügeleisen in Malatal from giving it a personal upgrade to 8C. "I think this problem is much, much harder then most 8B+'s. Perfect line! Sit start is now a big project." More info at SloClimbing Bügeleisen was put up in 2001, in the start of the grade inflation era, and it seems to be the hardest boulder back then and possibly also the first 8C in the world. Rok has previously done From Dirt Grows the Flowers, a super nice 8C in Chironico which Graham, Zangerl, Hukkataival, Page, Soucek and Ondra have done.
