Third 8A+ by Alex Puccio
Alex Puccio has made the FFA (yes, it's true this time) of Jim Holloway's Trice, 8A+, at Flagstaff. The problem went unrepeated for more than 30 years until Carlo Traversi made the 2nd ascent almost one year ago. This was Alex' 3rd of the grade and we don't think it would surprise anyone if the first 8B comes soon.
