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).
โTook a lot for me to execute this one. The โbig boy boulderโ journey continues!โ (c) Jon Glassberg Louder Than 11
What do you mean by โbig 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. Iโm sort of on a mission to try and use my 6โ2 span more and tackle some of the boulders that donโt 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.

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders.
