9a+ by Mike Foley

Mike Foley has done Jaws II, 9a+ in Rumney. Mike said, "Unsure about the grade. The way Vasya did it was for sure 9a+. My beta was very similar to Daniel's. Regardless of the grade it still feels like the hardest thing I have ever done. Epic conditions battle. Sent in 80 degree weather. Redemption after a difficult summer."
