8B+ by Alex Khazanov
Alex Khazanov has done Ill thrill 8B+ (C) in Magic Wood. (c) Eddie Fowke
"Ohhhh yess!!! Moments like this are a big part of the reason why I climb. I tried it for a few days back in the summer and came back today praying for it to be dry and it was! I set down to try it and boom! Couldn't do almost any move, after a some more tries, just before i was ready to give up, it happened. After a biggg fight and almost falling on every move I found my self on the top. This problem is my hardest to date for sure and I am totally not sure about the grade of this one but this not why we climb. We climb for those special moments. So so happy right now!
