FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS 8C+ BY JOEY KINDER

In Hurricave - Utah - Usa

March 20, 2010

 

American climber Joey Kinder sent on March 13th his project Flight of the Conchords,  near his home, in Hurricane Utah, on the wall of cave called Hurricave.
 
I am really happy as of yesterday I completed my route."  - writes Joey on his blog -  "I put in about 12 days or so figuring out moves, trying links, and then pushing for a send. This is one my babies and I am really proud of it since I bolted the line, cleaned it for days and now did it… What a feeling!!! A spectacular style in horizontal climbing with moves getting harder, and holds getting poorer toward the end. You know what that means. "
 
 "It’s called “Flight Of The Conchords”. About the grade? Well… when comparing it to the “new-school” 9a grade in Catalunya, Spain it cannot be. I don’t know if thats a smart thing or what, but it seems like the right thing for now. Lets go 8c+ and see what happens"
