Deep Fake | 8C+ Boulder problem in Brione

It was going really bad and I had basically decided that I had gotten too weak on one of the moves to do be able to do it. I then decided to change one thing as a last ditch effort and out of nowhere I found myself into the stand for the first time ever!

I tried to keep my cool but I started to numb out. On the penultimate move I completely missed the hold and in that moment I thought I was off. Somehow I stayed on and couldn’t quite believe that I had finally done it. All the pressure just washed away standing on top and it was honestly the best feeling I’ve had in climbing. [3]

Personal feeling of 8c hard, but taking into account the opinions of other climbers who have tried the boulder and with hindsight that this boulder is in a style that suits me enormously, I think that it is probably a soft 8c+. However, it is possible that the boulder is really easier for very tall climbers... [2, translated]
