Isles of Wonder Sit 8C (+) by Will Bosi
During the last 12 months, Will has done two 9A’s, two 8C+’ and eighth 8C’s and his 8a annual score is 12 403, which is the highest ever achieved. However, in the All time-high list, Bosi is #5 after Woods, Webb, Ondra and Cameroni.
Can you tell us more about the ascents, the new beta and the number of sessions needed?
It took three sessions total counting my first day where I did the stand a couple of years ago. I had my second session on Friday and dropped the last move a couple of times before deciding to stop and return yesterday.
I used the starting heel hook for the first two moves rather than just the first which meant I was able to avoid the shoulder move being as savage.
