8a Storytelling by famous auther Jo Nesbรธ
Jo Nesbรธ is a Norwegian author that has been published in more than 40 languages.
Currently, he is on Kalymnos and his "comment" about his flash attempt of the hardest 6a on the island, Mon amour, is like reading a chapter in a novel. The whole story, Jo just wrote directly in the 8a comment even without any proofreading. It is like doing a 9a onsight :)
