First 8C by Sam Weir
Sam Weir, who had a personal 8A best until 2015, has during a night session done his first 8C, Topaz in RMNP. video
"4th ascent. Yes! My first v15! First go tonight:) At first I thought it would go easy for me but after falling on the walk through after sticking the crux 10+ times I believe this warrants the 8c grade for how confident and precise you have to climb on the exit v11 boulder. The first time I set the toe hook I sent. Definitely my hardest to date and psyched for my europe trip and to start that new journey on Hypno!"
