The Big Island 8C by Niccolò Ceria

Niccolo Ceria has done the, at least, 9th ascent of Vincent Pochon's The Big Island i Fontainebleau which was his first 8C. "Beautiful. A kind of dagger rock up on the hills. It climbs so well. Felt hard today for skin condition; could be easier in terms of grade." The 21 year old Italian has a very solid pyramid base containing 57 boulders 8B and harder including two flashes out of which Ubik assis, he did two weeks ago also in Font. In the 8a ranking game, Niccolò is #5 and he has had nine years of continuous progress. In total, there are now some 60 guys who have done 8C but only a couple have done 8C+.
