8C FA by James Squire
James Squire, who previously has done four 8B+' and 30 8B's, has done his first 8C by the FA of The World Is Yours in Biblins Cave. (c) Tom Maidwell
"We were lucky enough to have Biblins Cave unbanned five years ago and this mega project was the obvious line through the middle of the cave from sitting at the back, climbing to the lip of the roof. It involves 18 powerful and beta intensive moves. I have spent over 30 sessions on this roof in total with 8 of them being in the last two months after I was finally able to work out beta for the top section.
It ended up being a massive mental battle after I dropped the easier top moves a few weeks ago and couldn't reach that high point for a few sessions after. You have to climb an 8B to get into the crux meaning you don't have loads of attempts each session and it caused a number of skin problems. I am both very psyched and very relieved to have finally climbed this! Still can't believe it!"
