8c+ FA by Gareth Parry (42)

Gareth Parry has done the FA of Supersónico 8c+ in 45 Degrees. "So pleased to finally climb this, amazing experience all the way from bolting to climbing." Gaz started competing in the World Cups in 1994 and in 1997 he was #8 in the World Speed Championship. Later he switched to bouldering where he once stood on the podium and in 2007 he won the Arco Rock Master. The interesting thing and good news is that he says his 8c+, is his hardest route yet. Nice to see progress at 42 after being a world class climber for 20 years.
