Moritz Perwitzschky flashes Amandla 8B (+)
Can you tell us more about the flash and your 8B personal grade?
The boulder was graded 8B+ with the direct jump beta over a crimp. With the high right foot and the bump method, I think it is rather 8B. But the holds are there and it is easier so for me it doesn't make sense to climb it the direct way.
I trained a lot in this style the last weeks and was quite confident, to climb it quickly, didn't expect to flash it though.
