    I don’t think this is actual send footage. It looks like it is pieced together from multiple attempts to maximize flow and showcase the holds. Could be wrong though.

    Funny to see a video from an actual 8C+ boulder posted on the same page as an interview (D.W. / circuit) contemplating the existence of 8C+.

      How do you know that Gioia is an “actual 8C+”? It’s not the first time a boulder has been given that grade . . .

        Grade has been confirmed by Adam Ondra. But yes, we can never know for sure..

          Adam was actually the first and only person to suggest 8C+ for the line. Christian Core originally proposed a grade of 8C.
