Longue promesse 8C by Antoine Girard
Antoine Girard, who previously has done eighth 8B+', has done his first 8C, Longue promesse in Le Pertuis, video.
"Itโs a overhanging wall with slippery edges with a very nice dyno at the end. The hard part is to do the first move of the stand and manage to keep the tension in the heal hook till the last move. The sit start adds a 7C+ to the 8B stand. Nothing really hard but enough to make the upper part much harder. I spend five sessions on the stand start and I spent three sessions more to succeed in the sit start. Itโs actually my first 8C. I made the first repetition three months after the FA of Nathan Michel. For the grade I think itโs a real 8C because I spent five sessions more than my other hard 8B+."
