Ultra Instinct (8C) by Will Bosi
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 couldn’t really try. Then finally to redpoint sessions last week. It’s a cool boulder as it’s just big pure power moves! There is definitely potential for a sit start and I’m 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
