On the same wall, the 24-year-old has during two previous trips over the last year, done the FA of both Everything the Light Touches (8C) and Vecchio Leone Sit (8C+), after first flashing the 8B stand of the latter. Having also done some other 8C's and hard flashes over the last year, the Brit is without a doubt part of bouldering's global elite.

What was the most challenging thing the Lion's Share presented?
Most challenging part is likely its completeness in styles. It’s rare you need to switch between movement patterns quite so much during a set of moves so I’d say it builds quite radically. It’s a slow style of movement too so generating much power after a lot of time under tension feels hard.

How many sessions did it take?
Hard to tell on sessions as I’d had a few times where I’d try a specific move or two after trying or doing one of the other projects. But it was 3-4 this trip.
