8A+ (B) flash by James Webb
James Webb has done his 36th flash of an 8A+ or harder Boulder by Bleu sacrรฉ in Fontainebleau, which is actually considered to be an 8B by most of climbers. Without his personal grades, the best flash boulderer in the world would have done almost 50 8A+ to 8B+. In the 8a ranking game, James has been more or less #1 the last five years and in fact, his trend diagram has been pointing steadily upwards for the last ten years.
