In climbing I do things that I enjoy and want to do not the ones that are currently in fashion.

7th ascent of Jade by James Webb

After having fallen off from the famous Move three times on RMNP test-piece Jade ~8B+/C, James Webb decided to find some new beta. Webb is a taller than everyone else who's done it, and was getting too bunched.

The weather was basically awful, i still had two small split tips.. and a send seemed far from possible.... On my first attempt though i surprised myself by sticking the crux move and falling on the standstart due to frozen fingers. After this i sat around for 10 minutes trying to cool my fingers off, and keep my index from bleeding.. Eventually i decided to give it one more effort.. I pulled on feeling worse than ever... stuck the crux move... and somehow made my way to the top of the wall!! So syked! - climber commented on day of the ascent.

One of the most important questions concerns the grade of problem, because many climbers setting new FA compared the difficulty to Jade.

I definately feel as if this is the hardest boulder i've ever climbed.. and i agree with Carlo's downgrade to v14. Either way, this problem is brilliant, and im really glad it is here for me to climb on - said James Webb.
