8A+ by Leo Skinner (14)

Leo Skinner has done his first 8A+, Evil Sideways in Dinas Rock and here is the video. "Really psyched to get the 4th ascent of this boulder on my 3rd session! Iโ€™m really lucky to have some local strong climbers support me and to put up many hard testpieces like this one in my local area. The boulder breaks down into two sections of powerful climbing. The first being a 5 move V9 and the second a 5 move V8/9 with no rest in between."
