8B flash by Andy Gullsten on his fifth climbing day

Thilo Schrรถter reports that Andy Gullsten has flashed King of Limbs 8B in Rocklands, which was set up as an 8B+/C. "Andy went on a wild streak, first he did Monkey Business 8B second try and the same day he sent Quinesentials 8B. The next day he did Sky 8B and to continue the streak he did Golden shadow 8B the day after, and then topped it of by flashing King of Limbs 8B on his fifth consecutive climbing day." It should be mentioned that all boulders were originally graded one grade harder. Here is a Rocklands video from Thilo. Andy comments: "I got some really good beta from the Norwegian crew when they worked on it. When I went for the flash try I executed the moves perfectly. It almost felt surreal.
