Fazata does the first 8B+ in Bulgaria

Stanislava Lambreva reports that Ivaylo "Fazata" Radkov has done the first 8B+ in Bulgaria, Uspurt in Rila monastery valley. "I've never been waiting, thinking and dreaming so long for a problem. Almost half a year the stone was into me. I was trying it over and over, the whole winter, spring, fall and summer. "Upsurt" is quite different than all other hard boulder problems I have done. Huge compression on so strange holds. It's hard for me to give a grade, but for sure it's much harder than all the 8B's I have done overseas, I can't say if it's 8C, as I've never tried.
