Aidan Roberts gives 9A to Spots of Time

Aidan Roberts reports on Instagram that he's proposing 9A for Spots of Time, which he put up in February, after working on it for 30+ sessions. "At this level, where style becomes specific and finer details so important, it feels at best a good guess and I feel open to be humbled by missed methods or simple overconfidence in my own ability." (c) Jim Pope

The Brit has previously sent several 8C+ graded boulders, Alphane (9A) and Arrival of the Birds, which he did in March, saying it was harder than Alphane, but a grade has not yet been proposed .
