The Story of 2 Worlds 8C by Sebastien Biner
Sebastien Biner has done the ultra classical The Story Of 2 Worlds (8C) in Cresciano. It was put up, as a sit start to The Dagger 8B (+), by David Graham in 2005 as "The New 8C standard". Dave referred to the different (inflated) gradings school at the time. Actually, in the media it was speculated to be 8C+ but later it became a benchmark 8C until some called it "soft" and also 8B+ has been suggested, due to better beta and the use of knee pads.
"First one. Dont know about the grade. really cool to climb there, want to try the other side of the block!โ (c) Clement Lechaptois
How was the process taking it down?
I first tried Dagger at the beginning of the year and sent it after two sessions. It took me seven more sessions to do the sit start yesterday. I did it with a left kneebar at the beginning and head first for the end.
What is your climbing background and what is next?
I am from Valais in Switzerland and I've been climbing for ten years, mainly bouldering. My next goal is trying some more hard stuff in Switzerland, like Dreamtime or some boulders in Versasca.

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.
