Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 From www.8a.nu this morning: "John Mallery reports: On a visit to New Hampshire for a showing of his movie about climbing in India, Chris Sharma made a quick 4th ascent of The Fly, 9a [that's .14d -- DFA], at Rumney on October 28th. After falling from the last move on his FLASH attempt, Chris made two false starts, and then sent the route to the anchor. The Fly was put up by David Graham 2000. Perhaps it is time to start working on the harder open Rumney projects like Super Fly and Bill Clinton? Sharma's ascent of The Fly is the fastest ever ascent of a 9a. Remember 8c is still to be flashed... " And an impressive performance from up-and-coming Bend/PDX homegirl Kristin Yurdin, while we're at it: "Kristin Yurdin from the United States becomes the 7th woman to break the 10 000 border by adding some hard onsights in Red River Gorge. Flux Capacitor, 7c+[.13a] was her hardest onsight ever." Nice work, senders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted October 30, 2003 Author Share Posted October 30, 2003 Ah, disregard that shit. It's 8a's little points/ranking system. Apparently it's hard to rack up 10k points or something. But the point was the good jobness of the .13a onsight. And they probably meant "10,000-point barrier", but their English is not always of quality best using, comprehend you?
