8b+ again by Cameron Hörst (12)

Four days ago, Cameron Hörst did his fourth 8b+, Doomsday in Ten Sleep, a technical vertical route. Today, on only his third go he did his fifth, Rodeo Free Europé in Wild Iris, a steep powerfull route on one and two finger pockets. His father Eric Hörst comments, "I thought it would take many days work, but Cameron was confident...and as he tied in for his red point go Cameron told me "I'm going to channel Alex Megos and send this now". The same day, Jonathan Hörst (10) who also has done an 8b+, did 41 pull-ups at the local climbing festival.
