Will Bosi pulls off “no beta” 8A+ flash

William Bosi planned to have a rest day but could not resist trying to flash Lethal Design (8A+) in Red Rock (NV). ”Very happy to get a no beta flash on this classic.” (c) Teresa Coimbra

Was it like a comp flash with just some observation?
Yeah, so I thought about the moves for a couple of minutes whilst I tried to quickly warm up and put shoes on.

How did you warm up? Was it the first climb of the day?
Yes first pull on of the day. I took max. 5 min of dynamic stretching and wiggling my fingers and then went for it as we didn’t have much time, so I knew I only had one quick go. Then I went and did the classic, The Pork Chop (6A). Was meant to be a rest day as my girlfriend was the one climbing that day, but those two problems looked too good.
