Shawn Raboutou<\/strong> is again great this year, this time not in Rocklands but in the RMNP<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Here he sent the famous Creature from the Black Lagoon<\/strong>, the 8C + by Daniel Woods<\/strong> that in 2016 was the hardest problem in the world … before Hukkataival climbed not long after Burden of Dreams.<\/p>\n After the repetitions of Graham, Webb and Ichimiya<\/strong>, that of Raboutou should therefore be the fifth ascent of this very extreme boulder, even if Shawn seems to suggest that it can be “only” 8C:<\/p>\n “Well the process was pretty fun and what made the difference in the end was the conditions. It was my 4th day on it this year and I had tried it twice 2 years ago. Also I want to mention that I’m not sure about the 8C+ grade and think it could be 8C. I don’t feel that I have enough experience though to make better judgement then the people who have done it before me.”<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n On the other side of the world, in Magic Wood<\/strong>, Vadim Timonov<\/strong> takes advantage of the arrival of the cool autumn to add another repetition to Practice of the Wild<\/strong>, in his opinion 8B +:<\/p>\n “At the first day I thought that I can send it pretty fast. But I injured my knee and tried to find a new sequence. I think for me it is the easiest 8C in Magic wood and it’s more 8B+ than 8C”<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n News: 8a.nu<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Two other ascents of considerable value between the RMNP and Magic Wood Shawn Raboutou is again great this year, this time not in Rocklands but in the RMNP.
