News courtesy 8a.nu
Dave "G Dogg" Graham is still on his eternal road trip. Well... I guess that's the thing with eternal things - they never stop. Anyway here's the low down:
FONT:
Kheops 8B, "lots of tries in an hour and a half frenzy, f***ing brilliant, and
WIERD."
Big dragon, FA, 8A+ at Petit bois, "amazing line, crazy it hasnt been done"
Mervielle right "8A?, really cool, tall, a key hold broke so the sequence forces you onto a slab insteda of a big move, but Jacky Godofe did it the big move way just recently, both are rad, but Jacky's way is sick! "
Total eclipse 8A+, "on my first day this year i did it, but i tried it 8 days the year before! epic!"
l'apperement 8A, couple tries
Big bang 8A, couple tries
Iceberg 8A, couple tries
Voltaine 8A, couple tries
l'diot, 7C+, took couple days
la tailleur de mensonges 7C, really scary higball!
Jacadi 8A dyno, crazy
Switzerland so far...
Project which took three days. Its this
beautiful cave on a river boulder, with BAD crimps, about 7 moves and, as hard as the hard s--- 8B+, its pretty damn cool looking. Its called the Ganymede Takeover.
Two other sick 8A problems I added at this spot (a new spot in the Tessin) one called Pamplemouse, with amazing runnels on granite, kinda like tufas, and Frogger a sick roof next to the Ganymede Takeover which has pockets and tufa like things, but again, its granite.
Dave's also saying they're starting to route climb again, "starting slow though", so far this is what's been going down:
some super hard 8a arete onsight
Mojave 8b/8b+ 2 tries( Isaac Caldiero did it in three tries)
Jericho 8b, and
Rjoja 8b in a couple tries at Cevi.
