8a+ by Jonathan Hörst (11)

Jonathan Hörst has done his first 8a+, Pushin' Up Daisies in Red River Gorge. "Third go! My first 13c. I did it on a burn when I was only supposed to go every couple of bolts, but I kept going because I felt good. Thanks to Margarita for great beta for the top crux." Jonathan's two year older brother did also his first 8a+ being 11 years old and if he wants to keep Cameron's standards, Jonathan has to do 8b+ before turning 13. Their father Eric is one of the most famous climbing trainers and who has published many books. On the picture by Mike Kessler, we also can see Kai Ligthner (14) who has done 8c+ and to the right two other younger kids who also probably have done 8a ;-)
