Dave MacLeod (43) repeats Bosi's new Below Zero 8B+
William Bosi put up Below Zero (8B+) in Rooftown two weeks ago. "The low roof start to Zero. Adds about 5 fairly tiring cool moves. Definelty got to be one of the best hard uk boulders". In the video Dave MacLeod documents his process to repeat it and part of the process was to sand down his pinky and moistining it with water to increase the friction.
Dave made his first, out of 82 8a headlines, in 2002 and is famous for all his hard core FA tradlines. He has also also done a 9a FA and 8C repeats. In short, the 43-year-old has been one of the best multi-disciplin climbers over the last 20 years.
