Sam Weir does The Lion's Share (8C)

Sam Weir, with three 8C+โ€™ to his name, has sent The Lion's Share (8C) in Brione. โ€Nice diverse climbing touching a bit of all styles. Crimps lead to foot tension culminate to La BAF.โ€

Can you tell us more about the ascent and what is โ€La BAFโ€?
I tried it for the first time early October with low expectations with my friends Clem and Nina. After a thorough warm up I flashed into the easier 8A at the end. Falling from a bit of excitement and confusion. Honestly, a bit sad because had I done things a bit more seriously I think I really would have had a good chance to flash it. Or not. Itโ€™s a game I have never really played as it always seems dangerous for my fingers. I came back last week after a tantalizing close attempt the day before on my project and managed to get it done. โ€œLa BAFโ€ is just the big slap at the end ๐Ÿ˜… as the French would say hehe.
