Big Bouldering Numbers at Home & Abroad

Earl Climbs High Fidelity 8b / V13 Andy Earl has climbed the superb highball High Fidelity at Caley. This is only the 3rd ascent after Steve Dunning & Ben Moon. Andy states on his blog that: “after a quick warm up and a quick look at the top on a rope. Then I was up for a go, well I found myself through the undercut move and eyeing up the pocket. Well what the hell I went for it held it and shook my way to the top, which was a little damp. What a bloc, really pleased to do such a great grit line look forward to more grit action soon” You can watch a video of Andy doing the problem on YouTube here>> Pearson Onsights Font 8a+ in Switzerland 8a.nu is reporting that James Pearson has onsighted Sussyfuss, Font 8a+ in Chironico.
