What do we think? On 8a.nu he said

Énorme. 8c/+ Run ultra plaisant dans ce classique du pic. Bon… dans l’éthique pure du flash c’est pas vraiment valide, j’avais fais les 2 derniers mètres en commun avec Beyond… mais bon… (jcrois là on s’en fou) Refait ! Merci Naoch pour les thodmé

which translates as

Awesome. 8c/+ Ultra-pleasant run on this classic peak. Okay… from a purely flashing perspective, it's not really valid, I did the last 2 meters together with Beyond… but oh well… (I think that doesn't matter here). Did it again! Thanks Naoch for the tips!

I assume the top is very straightforward? Do we take the strict line?

I’d personally recognise it as a flash (unless the top 2m turn out to be 8A or something), but from a CH point of view, I think the strict line needs be taken. If we don’t, then we’re opening ourselves to constant judgement calls (Is 3m ok? What if the routes only 8m long? Etc)

Yeah having slept on it I think I agree. "Not a flash by definition, but as good as one" kinda case. Updated the ascent to clarify.
