Wrestling with an alligator 8B flash by Yannick Flohรฉ
Yannick Flohรฉ has flashed Wrestling with an alligator (8B) and done Bรผgeleisen (8B+) in Maltatal, video on his Insta.
"I spent two days in Maltatal on my first day I started with Power of goodbye 8B with a nice dyno from two crimps to a jug. After that, I tried Bรผgeleisen. After a really good flash attempt, falling at the last crimp before the big move to the edge, I climbed it in four more tries. On my sent go I got two splits on my fingertips so I couldnโt try the sit anymore. On my second day, I worked on Hide and Seek but dropped the last hold two times and couldnโt finish it. I was quite frustrated and already tired but Chris Schweiger told me to try Wrestling with an Alligator which he did the day before. I just decided to give it a try and somehow just flashed it. I think itโs not the hardest 8B and I had a good Beta ๐ ".
So did you actually have taped fingers while flashing the 8B?
Yes, two fingertips taped with superglue and tape ๐ . And I put some climb skin into the cut that helped.

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.
