First 8A by Leo Skinner (just 13)
Leo Skinner, who turned 13 two days ago, has done his first 8A, Butch Cassidy at Dinas Rock and it went down fast.
"Three and a bit sessions and it went down in the wet. glad to get this done whilst I'm still young! stuck the bottom crux moves and power screamed through until the finish. out of nowhere!"
Here is a video from Albarracin he edited some 10 months ago and his coach, Morgan Preece, they got the 8A on film.
