Jean Baptiste Jourjon repeats Sideways Daze, 8B

Three weeks ago, Jean Baptiste Jourjon told us that he was about to conclude a long standing project, "it is not won, but he who try nothing, gain nothing". After some trips to Bleau, sunday night he was back to Lyon with what might be the first repeat of Sideways daze (8B). Relieved this time to complete the Holy Grail! More info on French page or here. J.B. was already on the case in 2001 but twisted his ankle on a "solo" attempt. And three weeks later, while he was still walking on crutches, a certain Dave Graham made a landmark visit in the forest and grabbed first ascent of this only two moves problem… Kévin Lopata one of those strong “bleausard” made Tuesday another repeat of this boulder.
