Four 8a+ OS by Honnold in booming Geyik bayiri
Alex Honnold during the last week has onsighted four 8a+' in Geyik bayirik Turkey. On two of the routes he confirmed downgrades. The other two he calls "soft".
If we made a Combined ranking including Big Wall, Boulder and Trad, Alex would be a candidate for the #1 position in the world, not counting his trademark style.
Geyik has boomed. Though the crag is 10 years old, 42% of its ascents have been made in the last year. Another thing is booming there as well: suggested personal downgrades compared to the old topo.
