8C (B+) and 8B+ in a day by Ned Feehally

Edward "Ned" Feehally has done Mรฉcanique ร‰lรฉmentaire 8B+ and Jour de Chasse 8C (8B+) on the same climbing day in Fontainebleau. (c) Shaggy So what is your climbing background and what is the hardest you have done before? - I guess on paper my hardest problem before this was The Dagger 8B (+). Although I feel like grades rarely reflect how difficult problems actually are to do, and grading scales rarely match up between different climbing areas. I think I have climbed harder problems even if they don't get big grades. I live in Sheffield and I climb mostly in the Peak where I'm a fan of a bit of highballing. I used to be into comps but they're pretty stressful, so I just try to climb outside when I can. Ned stopped competing in 2013 and has twice made it into a Boulder WC Top-6 final.

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders. Outdoor bouldering isโ€ฆ
