8C by Guillaume Glairon-Mondet

Guillaume Glairon-Mondet has done his first 8C, The Big Island in Fontainebleau after some 12 sessions during three years. "Many thanks to Dave Graham and Vincent Pochon to put up the perfect line, which is (for me) the perfect problem!" More info, pics and video on his blog. Gui-Gui has had a nice steady progress since 2007 when he did his first 8A+. He has also won two World Cup events. What was the success recipe today? "Hum!! one rest day yesterday, (I am at the end of 3 weeks of hard training for the next comps) and good weather (snow last night, and after drying the holds with a towel, it was a really good friction!!)" Is the sit start the next project? Probably not soon, because I looked at it, and it seems to be and hard 8A/B to join big island (5-8 moves)... so probably 9A, for the futures Adam or something like that!"
