Ultra Instinct (8C) by Will Bosi
William Bosi has repeated Ultra Instinct (8C) at Forest Rock and here is the video. The FA was done this spring by Orrin Coley after working it for three years. The 24-year-old is a superior #1 in the 8a ranking game, his 12 399 points is the highest ever achieved on 8a since we started with the scorecards in 2000.
Can you tell us more about UI and the potential sit start as well as continuing the roof?
It took 4 sessions in total, one last year where I did the higher start. Then one where it was mostly wet and I couldnโt really try. Then finally to redpoint sessions last week. Itโs a cool boulder as itโs just big pure power moves! There is definitely potential for a sit start and Iโm hoping to try that soon but I think it will make it a lot harder! You could also continue into the roof I think but it would start getting way too high

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.
