Vasil Vasil 9b+ | Climbing History

8b in to an 8B+ boulder problem (which itself contains a single move of 8B!)

The name is a play on La Dura Dura: Vasil ~ Facil, which roughly means 'Easy Easy'.

Climber	Style	Ascent Date	Suggested Grade
Adam Ondra	Lead \| worked	4th Dec 2013	9b+
Adam Ondra	First ascent. From Adam's 8a.nu logbook: 2 years and 20-25 days on this thing. It is definitely not mega line, it is painful, short and in dirty place. But it was there, I bolted it 5 years ago and I couldn't leave it unclimbed. It is basically one-mover. 7 meters of burly 8b route into hard boulder problem, which is 8B+ on itself for sure. One single move is at least 8B. Very frustrating process of making no progression for long days, but when it finally happened, on super cold sticky day, it felt like nothing. In a short moment it was all over. Short, but LONG awaited moment. I am so happy.
