Adam Shahar does Sleepwalker 8C (+)

Adam Shahar, who during the last five months has sent four 8B+' and two 8C's, has ticked Sleepwalker (8C+) in Black Velvet Canyon, logging it as an 8C. "Was able to get her done second sesh after working out the moves and links Sunday with a dope squad. Tried the low a bit today and super stoked on returning for return."

Can you tell us more about the ascent?
Last week I took a four day trip to Red Rocks Las Vegas with the sole goal being to work out sleepwalker and get an understanding of how I match up with the climb. After a great first working session things all seemed to be more reasonable than I had first thought. After warming up and rehearsing links I was able to take down the line first try from the bottom on my second day. This was a surreal feeling as I vividly remember watching the FA video five years ago and hoping one day I would have the abilities necessary to complete an ascent. Here we are now way earlier than expected! After a short break in SLC I am now heading back to Red Rocks hoping to give a good effort on the lower start! 🤞

Did you have time to check the Sit?
Yes, I was able to flash into sleepwalker from the bottom and on my third go got to the big bump move. I thought it was something like v12 [8A+] maybe? I’ve heard others say 13 but I didn’t think so.
