Webb takes it to yet another level by doing 8C in one session

James Webb has done the second ascent of Nalle Hukkataival's The Understanding 8C in Magic Woods. "Somehow managed to climb it in 1 session. Only had 6 pads and 1 spotter but when the problem is this good you just gotta go for it when it feels right. Literally the best boulder problem I have ever climbed. The perfect line. Nice one Nalle!" Nalle's great video. This could be the first confirmed 8C in one session meaning that there is plenty of room for an 8C+ or possibly even 9A for James. During the last month, James has done 27 boulders only counting 8A flashes and 8B redpoints and harder. No other boulderer has ever made such an impressive tick list and bear in mind that the list is based on his personal grades.
