Although he initially suggested 8C+, Mauro now lists the boulder as 8C/+ on his website [2]

On the grade:

Wow !! I don’t know. When you work hard on a boulder, sometimes it looks impossible but when you send it, you can feel so easy. So I don’t know what to think about it. I rely on Mauro, who is really strong in that style of climbing. I‘ve never done any 8c, so I can’t tell you if it is harder or not. But it looks like Tonino 78 is really harder than Dreamtime : Mauro says that it is a different sport! Then is it a bit harder or very much harder? And this is where the difference lies between 8c and 8c+. But in any case the grade can’t be below 8c! This boulder has been such a fight for me that I cannot easily give you a judgment. I will have to climb in that boulder again without pressure… [1]
