Two 8c+' in Kochel by Pirmin Bertle
Pirmin Bertle has done two 8c+'s in Kochel, Paradis Artificial and the FA of Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang which was bolted and named by Toni Lamprect. "Nice direct line through the wall on tiny holds, no real rest points and very reachy moves. Very good rock and great conditions today. All the way straight up and slightly left at the last bolt. 8c+/9a."
In the 8a ranking game, he is #3. Next up is to do Big Hammer 9a without the sika hold that change the crux grade from 7B+ to 8A+. More info in his blog.
