James Webb #1 flash boulderer in the world

Here is a ranking, based on the 8a data base, who are the best flash boulderer in the world. Note that grades vary and some have stopped recording ascents so the list should be more considered an indication of who are the Top-10. Anyhow, superior is James Webb and what strikes out the most is his 14 recorded 8B flashes. It should be noted that among the top boulderers, he is the one who have suggested most personal down grades. Daniel Woods just post his ascents on his Instagram since 2014, so he is probably not so far behind. The scoring points: 8B+ * 10, 8B * 6, 8A+ * 3 and 8A * 1 1. James Webb 0 - 14 - 36 - 63 = 255 2. Daniel Woods 1 - 3 - 11 - 45 = 107 3. Adam Ondra 1 - 7 - 8 - 28 = 104 4. Paul Robinson 0 - 1 - 11 - 42 = 81 5. Jan Hojer 0 - 2 - 13 - 22 = 73 6. Keita Mogaki 0 - 2 - 4 - 19 = 43 7. Gabri Moroni 0 - 0 - 7 - 20 = 41 8. Matt Fultz 0 - 0 - 6 - 21 = 39 9. Niccolo Ceria 0 - 2 - 3 - 14 = 35 0. Jernej Kruer 0 - 0 - 5 - 19 = 34 On the picture, James flashes The Globalist which he recorded as an 8B, although the other three entries in the data base, have it as an 8B+. (c) Nico Bรคckstrรถm

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders. Outdoor bouldering isโ€ฆ
