Three 8B's in Font in day by Nicolas Pelorson

Nico Pelorson, Euro Youth Champion last year who just was #2 in French nationals, has done three 8B's in a day in Fontainebleau: Gecko Assis 8B+, Khรฉops and Satan i Helvete in the picture, without his left shoe. In fact he also did Verdict 8A on the his amazing record breaking day. In the 8a combined ranking game, the 19 year old is #6. "I have previously had one session on "Satan i Helvete", two on "Khรฉops" and two on "Gecko". Conditions were perfect, not much sun and a little fresh wind. I did "Satan" with only one shoe because there is a kind of 2 finger pocket hold for the left foot which is impossible to use with a climbing shoe. Barefoot, I can put my big toe into this hold and it's easier."
