8B+ (C) by Jan Hojer in Font

Jan hojer has done the first repeat of Seastian Frigault's Mecanique Elementaire in Fontainebleau from 2006, giving it a personal grade of 8B+. "Yesterday I wanted to check out the moves of ME and somehow ended up on top of the boulder. So basically my second session on it because I did Opium (the top part of ME) two years ago. Amazing athletic test piece! I don't know why nobody's trying it?! My primary goal for this trip is Trip Hop where I fell pretty close to the top, two days ago.. Hopefully it doesn't rain all week! Two weeks ago, the 187 cm powerhouse, did three 8B's also in Font and he is #4 in the ranking game. In the Boulder WC, he was #8 this year after having won one event and been runner-up in another.
