8B (+) by Felipe Camargo

Felipe Camargo has opened Segundo Sol, 8B in Sao Bento doSapucai. "It's basically two hard moves (plus 3 feet moves) in a roof. I first tried this boulder in 2010 together with my friend Jon cardwell when he came to Brazil. we thought it was really hard and couldn't do it. And just got the chance to try it again this year and it took me 2 days to be able to do the first move and send. For the grade...i think something in between v13 or v14...so ill just say 8B and see what the next say.
