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. โNice 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 โLa 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. Itโs 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. โLa BAFโ is just the big slap at the end ๐ as the French would say hehe.

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders.
