Allison Vest does The Fish-Eye Effect (8B)

Allison Vest, with 14 boulders 8B and beyond under her belt, has completed The Fish-Eye Effect (8B) in Red Rock (NV). โ€Took a lot for me to execute this one. The โ€œbig boy boulderโ€ journey continues!โ€ (c) Jon Glassberg Louder Than 11

What do you mean by โ€big boy boulderโ€ and how many sessions did it take?
In a similar vein to Booka Booka Booka (8B), Fish Eye suits the 6 foot [180+ cm] tall male climber the best because of its big spanned moves. Iโ€™m sort of on a mission to try and use my 6โ€™2 span more and tackle some of the boulders that donโ€™t have female ascents yet, partially because the size of the individual movement on them.

It can be a frustrating time working on these boulders because, while my arms are long, my legs are short haha so I have to find my own beta.

How tall are you?
I am 169 cm and my wingspan is 188 cm. Doing pull ups is so much harder with long levers hahaha.
