Yannick Flohé first to flash 8C

Yannick Flohé, who has placed Top-10 in all the first four Lead World Cups in 2025, flashed Foundations Edge (8C) last week. ”When I sent I couldn’t really believe it and felt a big relief because I knew for years that this was the one 8C in the world to flash. But I also got some doubts about the difficulty cause I was trying hard but non of the moves was really on the limit but maybe that was one reason why I sent. It’s not just one crux so you have to keep it together all the way to the good jug in the roof.”
