Nalle's 8C gets 8B+ by Jan Hojer

Jan hojer has made the second ascent of Nalle Hukkataival's new 8C, Momentum in Val Bavona giving it a personal grade of 8B+. (c) Mary Mecklenburg "Fantastic line! Super cool 50 degrees overhang with perfect crimps and powerful climbing. Everything comes down to a huge throw to a good crimp. Thank you nalle for putting so much work into establishing that 5 star line! I would love to call that one my first 8C but I took it down in one session..." Equally impressive is that Jan the day before flashed two 8A's and Ganymede Takeover, 8A+ in Brione whitin 30 minutes!
