14th 8B and 32nd 8A+ flash by James Webb

James Webb, the #1 flash boulderer in the world, has done it again with Blinded by the Light 8B in Brione. In total, James has now flashed 14 boulders graded 8B and, as a matter of a fact, four of those stand as 8B+ in the topo. Yesterday, he also added two 8A+ flashes to his scorecard in Magic Woods; Jack's broken heart and Riders on the storm which most think is 8B. It total he has now done 32 boulders graded 8A+ so in fact, he is quite superior in the flash style. (c) Eddie Fowke
