James Webb repeats two 8C's

James Webb reports on Instagram that he has completed two Giuliano Cameroni FAโ€™s in Valle Bavona, Solar Plexus (8C) and Eye in the Sky (8C). "This line in particular is on the first of many house sized blocks and is just a dream to climb. Comfy rock, fun moves, powerful yet technical etc etc. Hands down one of the best out there!" (c) Patinaeater

What was the key for the ascents?
I had tried them both before. I sent eye in the sky in the evening. And then the next morning I went and sent Solar Plexus. They both are quite low percentage so I think the key was a bit of luck haha. Especially on Solar Plexus. The first move is one of the more complex and difficult single movements out there. Not to mention itโ€™s on river polished granite so that adds a whole other element when it comes to conditions and the proper friction to stick to the holds.

What are your summer plans?
Right now summer plans are to spend time hiking deep into the Sierra searching for new areas. Possibly a trip to Colorado to try a few things but mostly spending my time here in California developing in the alpine.
