James Webb does Equanimity (8C)

James Webb has done the second ascent of Carlo Traversi's Equanimity (8C) at Kirkwood, calling it. "Potentially a contender for the hardest technical boulder in the world?"

"This is an extremely impressive first ascent in my opinion and really just leads me to the most important thing Iโ€™ve learned in this process. I have become a much better scaler. Not just stronger. But better. And having turned 36 years young last week that is a huge success in my brain and the way I see my future climbing. I do train of course here and there but my main focus the last many years has been on being a better more well rounded climber." (c) Patinaeater More comments at Webb's Instagram.
