8C FA by Fred Nicole (41)

Prana relata que o ícone dos boulders Fred Nicole que tem sido um pioneiro no boulder mundial desde os anos 90, especialmente na Suíça, Rocklans, Hueco Tanks, etc, além do o primeiro a encadenar 8B, 8B+ e 8C, estabeleceu um novo 8C, Le Boa. No final deste vídeo de Nicole, o início da Le Boa está incluído. "É um sit down start em uma estrutura parecida com uma grande cobra em posição de ataque, que também dá o nome para o problema. Alguns movimentos poderosos em pockets de pega invertida que levam a uma travessia complicada com mais alguns pockets e um final com movimentos longos. Ele termina em um outro problema chamado "Mosaik", graduado como V11 ou 8A." "Na maioria das vezes eu não graduo mais meus boulders, mas as pessoas ainda estão curiosas sobre que grau poderia ser. Meu sentimento é que trata-se de um boulder 8C, que senti como o boulder mais difícil que eu já fiz com pockets."
