8c FA by Paul Robinson in Magic Wood
Paul Robinson has done the first ascent of Ill Trill, 8C in Magic Wood. "An amazing boulder and psyched to have the FA of this one. Harder than ANY 8B+ I have done. Feels about as hard as Terremer. 13 moves of every style and none are easy w/ the crux final move! 6 days."
During the last three months, Paul has done seven 8B+ or harder. Picture by Stefan Schlumpf.
