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.

On DPM, it says he repeated it 2012

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.
