Petrichor 8C by Vadim Timonov
"I used 90% beta by Dave. Feels like only one beta for that boulder. It's hard for me to talk about the grade right now. It seemed to me that it is definitely more difficult than Amandla 8B+ and Shakey warrior which I have tried in the last days. I will try a few more 8Cs and I can use their example more accurately grading Petrichor. So far I can say that this is not the most difficult boulder in this grade, but it may be 8C anyhow. 5 stars qualitywise!"
