Kili makes 8c++ FA in Australia

La Sportiva has the Kilian Fischuber summary of his summer in Australia where he beside doing some boulders up to 8B also did the FA of a Southern Delight, 8c+ which is a link-up where the crux was a diagonal dyno." The challenge in the jump was less about the distance, and more about the fact that it was totally blind." (c) Chuck Fryberger Kilian is known for his hard non-inflated grades and as he has been dominating the Boulder WC scene for eight years he is the first candidate to win the world championship which takes place outside Paris next week. In 2005, he did get the silver but in the last three world championships he has missed the final.
