HyperBallad | 8B+ Boulder problem

First ascent.

On the wild and woolly Lewis shorelines of Europaidh and surrounding areas, I have added a line I've been trying since before the Spanish Armada sailed past. HyperBallad weighs in at a hard Font 8b+/8c (or V14/15 in new currency). There's no telling just how truly funny this line is. I was rolling around on the floor for ages after doing the final moves but, come a genetic freak, it may be downgraded to a mere Brian Blessed-type roar, or it may not. And that's the thing, it's going to take someone who has experience at this level of joke-telling to appreciate the humour needed to tackle the severity of the overhang and the matchstick edged crimps. To be honest, I don't see the grade shifting to the negative. [1]
