Matt Fultz repeats Vecchio Leone Sit (8C+)
Can you tell us more about your latest 8C+?

I didn’t expect to get caught up with this problem before the trip but it really drew me in with its complex moves and positions. In total it took 8 working sessions and is the first problem of this difficulty I’ve done outside the United States, although I’m hoping to do more this year!
