Jimmy Webb’s Climbed 99 Problems And The Island (V14) Was One

Posted February 9, 2012 at 1:33 pm · Comments { 12 } ·

Ok. Horrible title. Forgive me.

Anyway, Jimmy Webb is about a week into his first trip to Font. Last week he managed that one day ascent of Kheops Assis (V14), and according to his 8a scorecard this week he managed a relatively quick repeat of Dave Graham’s The Island a once V15 but now maybe V14 at Coquibus Rumont. This latest ascent puts him at 99 problems V10 or harder in the past 12 months which is notable for being 99 more V10s or harder than I’ve done in my entire life¹.

Update: Webb added a repeat of Gecko Assis (generally V14 but Webb thought V13) to close out his trip. Four V13’s or harder in his first 6 days climbing in Font.

A world record!!

Unless I can count that 1 problem that is V10 for some people but not V10 for other people. Then I’m only 98 behind! Yes! ↩

14d and was subsequently repeated by the likes of Chris Sharma and Jonathan Siegrist. Having climbed five other routes in the 5.14c/d range in the past 6 months, Spannuth felt Golden Direct warranted a grade of 5.14c.
