Cedric Larcher from Kairn reports Fred Rouhling has done two new 8B problems at Le Bourrinoire in Haute Savoie. “Fakir is the extension of a 7C that I opened 5 years ago. A very hard moove at the beginning, then a finger resistance section for finishing in a big wall on small galets. High and long problem (nearly 20 moves) which is for me harder that the problems I did in the same style (Fatman 8A+/8B, La pierre philosophale 8B, Eau profonde 8B+ or Prophétie 8B+). Ban Fridge is an 8B roof in the same style as my problems at Les Eaux Claires, with very big moves, and a crux on single finger hole at the beginning. The last move on a compression hold is very nice. It´s hard to compare those two boulders but both seem to have the same grade.
