Dreamtime 8C (B+) by Keller after 17 years and Flohe in 4 hrs
"This spring was different though! Despite approaching my 43rd birthday I was clearly in the best shape of my life as I “suddenly” had been able to send several hard-multi-year-nemesis-projects of mine like “Riot Act, low, 8C’ish” in the Frankenjura , “Ill Trill 8B+” and “New Baseline, 8B+” in Magic Wood." More info to come. (c) Hannes Kutza
At the same time, Yannick Flohe (21), #3 in the Boulder World Champion last year, has also done it possibly in just 4 hours and there is a video out on his Insta. "Quick ascent. Skipping the big move and using the crimp felt easier for me.The conditions were better than expected even though it was raining a little bit in the evening and quite humid in the morning. I chose the „cheating beta“ going to the small crimp and skipping the big move. I did the stand with both betas but the crimpy one felt more solid. Might be 8B+\C but I don’t care 🤷🏽♂️"
