Apparently, Anthony Lamiche has grabbed the first flash-ascent of Sharma´s Mandala, 8A+, at Bishop. Mandala was put up more than two years ago and some were speculating 8B+ since Sharma didn´t rate the boulder. Mandala is in fact the most frequented boulder news at 8a.nu and it has been continously down-graded and also 8A, has been mentioned. Rating theory – Everything is relative Lamiche also repeated Spectre, 8B/B+ at the Pollen Grains (Bishop) on his second day.
