Huber talks history and old-school grading

Article from last year's 8a yearbook. "And it was up to 1995 that “Action Directe“ was considered to be 8c+. After that grading became confuse, mainly because people already started talking about the grade 9b. Ben Moon was still there and he tried to convince the community that the proposal of the grade 9b was destructive as there hadn’t been even a confirmed 9a in the world." Alex gives Chris Sharma all his respect. He hopes and says that Adam Ondra is a good role model for the future. Picture showing Alex Huber and Adam Ondra doing Open Air, upgraded to 9a+ "with the new modern softer grading scale". (c) Joost.climbing.nl
