Sam Weir ticks La Force Tranquille (8C)

Sam Weir, who did three 8C+’ last year, has repeated Daniel Woods’ La force tranquille (8C) in Magic Wood. ”One off the life list. Amazing boulder and moves.”

Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I tried the boulder a lot in 2020 and fell on the jump. Tried again the year after and fell before, on and after the jump. After a few years away I came back and it went in a few tries. I’m really pleased because what used to be a limit project with all the doubt and seriousness involved, where every single detail mattered , became a fun session this time around. I could not get the smile off my face the whole session from astonishment. It really puts my current project’s difficulty for me into perspective. Really happy with this one as it’s one off my life list. Couple more to go!

What are your current projects?
Projects include : the board climbs Clément and Nina and I set (had to include this because they are important to me 🤣) and I’m trying an old Tony Lamiche project here in Chamonix for two years now and Poison the Well (8C+). Fell on the last move 3 weeks ago and then summer rolled in 😢. So lots to do :)
