8C FA by James Webb in Mt Evans

James Webb has completed what he believes to be his first 8C, The Wheel of Wolvo in Mt Evans after putting in three days of work alongside Dave Graham and Daniel Woods. "Yet another wheel of colorado! Amazing boulder problem we've always looked at but just thought it to be too hard. The break down is sick. A 10 move 8B+ into a 15 move 8A/+. A pumpy one for sure and suited my style/height so perfectly. Dave and Dan are close behind and will send next time for sure. Psyched to go back and try one of the harder exits!?" Jimmy has previously done three 8Cs but has given a lower personal grade to each. In total Webb has recorded 18 boulders graded 8B+. This summer, he flashed three 8B's in Rocklands and has made a continuous progression in difficulty for eight straight years. He is now #3 in the ranking game.
